How To Order Your Ketubah

Please note: A completed Ketubah Worksheet is required for all orders. Please find the link to this worksheet on the left side of each Ketubah page.

Here's what you need to know as you order your ketubah. Of course, please feel welcome to email or call as questions come up!

COLOR

You are welcome to customize the color on your ketubah!

For example, for the Lilac and Forest Ketubot, shimmery opal and silver are standard-priced colors for the backing layer. Alternatively, you have the option to request a giclee-printed custom color (for which there is an additional charge). Some of the ketubot shown here on the website are pictured with custom colors, and the custom color charge is included in their prices.

YOUR TEXT

The Hebrew and/or English text that you choose for your ketubah should feel just right to you both, and be approved by your officiant. My standard texts are available to be viewed right under the ketubah images. If you desire, feel free to edit one of our standard texts, or send in a custom text of your own. Please send your custom text typed in copy-able word or rtf format, or ask about typing charges.

Most of our customers request that we personalize the text with names, wedding date, and so on, for a seamless calligraphic look. The fonts that we use are Melanie's own calligraphic fonts. Please let us know if you have any special requests regarding formatting, fonts or text color.

Once you have placed your order and sent in your Ketubah Worksheet, we will send you a proof of your text so that you and your officiant can confirm that it is just right, or make any desired changes.

KETUBA WORKSHEET

We would be happy to transliterate English names into Hebrew, if you would like this assistance. We can also determine for you what the Hebrew date of your wedding will be.

DESIGN

Choose the design that feels right to you. Requests for custom additions or changes to the design are welcome! An additional fee will apply.

TIMING & SHIPPING

If possible, please plan to allow 4-6 weeks for creation of your papercut ketubah. If your deadline is sooner just let us know, and we will be happy to work with you to rush creation of your ketubah and have your ketubah ready in advance of your wedding!

We will send you detailed care information when your ketubah ships. Your ketubah will ship flat, packed cozy within a clear plastic art envelope, safely between several layers of cardboard, by UPS ground. It will be mounted onto a firm white foam board, ready for signing and display at your wedding!
