The ketubah is an integral part to any Jewish wedding ceremony. While originally the ketubah was written for only the groom to sign, made to protect the bride, modern ketubahs are signed by both the bride and the groom. Oftentimes two witnesses also sign the ketubah as part of the ceremony.
Traditional text focusing on the groom’s responsibilities has also been swapped for more personalized versions in modern times. Most ketubahs focus less on the legalities of marriage and more on the couple’s love for one another and their commitment to marriage.
Of equal importance to the text, is the design of the ketubah. It’s typically displayed to guests throughout the ceremony and reception, and then meant to serve as a piece of artwork in the couple’s home. You’ll notice the use of bright colors, biblical imagery, and visually stunning fonts.
We’ve put together a list of the best 10 ketubahs, all available for easy online ordering. Ranging from $19.99 to over $500 there’s a ketubah for every taste and budget.
