Sometimes, no matter what, you just can’t seem to find the perfect ketubah for you and your spouse. So what are you to do? You want a ketubah for your Jewish wedding ceremony but can’t find one that captures everything you want it to. Maybe none of the designs speak to you. That’s where the DIY Ketubah comes in!
Ketubah.com offers 14 different DIY Ketubahs. Circular text on a square background, rectangular text on a vertical background, even one in an arch shaped text and so many more. They can be ordered on paper so that another artist or friend you know can design around the text. Or you can order a digital one to add graphics or print it yourself!
But you don’t have to just take my word for it! I got to catch up with some Ketubah.com customers who got these and their results were amazing!
Amanda and Josh ordered a DIY Ketubah because Amanda is an artist herself. “We wanted something completely unique and meaningful. I love to paint and this would be a piece of art we’d have forever.”
“Josh and I met at overnight camp, Camp Wise, so being in nature is a part of our story. The roots symbolize family, which is also very important to us.”
For others it is a family tradition to make the ketubah by a loved one. Terry ordered a DIY Ketubah for her daughter’s wedding for her mother to design. You read that correctly. Her mother has made each of her own children’s ketubahs, and now has started with her first granddaughter’s! “It was truly an honor for both my daughter and my mother to be sharing this special moment.”
Since the groom is a Cohen she included the Cohanic symbols on the top with the hands over the ephod. Palm trees represent where they live in South Florida. And the couple loves the color orange so she incorporated orange flowers. The end result was a personal ketubah the whole family loves!
