Where to Buy a Ketubah: A Modern Couple’s Guide
Choosing your ketubah is one of the most personal parts of your wedding — it’s not just paperwork, it’s art that tells your story. Whether you’re looking for something traditional, modern, interfaith-friendly, or completely custom, here’s what you need to know about where (and how) to buy a ketubah today.
1. What Is a Ketubah?
A ketubah is the Jewish marriage contract — a centuries-old tradition that’s evolved into something more meaningful than legal. Today, it’s an expression of love, partnership, and values. Most couples display it proudly in their home as a reminder of their commitment.
2. Where Can You Buy a Ketubah?
Here are the main places couples shop for ketubahs — and what to expect from each.
🖼️ Online Ketubah Shops
Sites like Maybie.co, MPArtworks, and Ketubah.com specialize in artist-made designs. You can browse hundreds of styles, personalize your text, and preview it digitally before ordering.
Pros: Huge variety, customization options, quick shipping
Cons: You can’t see the paper or color in person🕍 Synagogues or Local Artists
If you want a community connection, your rabbi or synagogue may recommend local artists who create ketubahs by hand. This option often means more traditional styles.
Pros: Personal connection, handmade quality
Cons: Limited selection, longer turnaround times, higher prices
🛍️ Etsy and Art Marketplaces
If you’re looking for something ultra-unique, Etsy has independent artists offering everything from watercolor to minimalist ketubahs. A great example is beketubah.
Pros: Creative and niche designs
Cons: Quality and text accuracy vary
3. What to Look for in a Ketubah Shop
When comparing where to buy, pay attention to:
Design variety: Do they offer styles that match your wedding aesthetic?
Text options: Interfaith, same-sex, Reform, Conservative, or secular?
Customization: Can you add names, quotes, or custom text easily?
Proofing: Do they send a proof before printing? (They should!)
Paper and printing quality: Archival-grade paper will last for decades.
(At Maybie, we’ve obsessed over all of this — with museum-grade papers, clear proofs, and designs that actually feel like you.)
4. How Much Does a Ketubah Cost?
Digital print: $150–$300
Hand-painted: $400–$1,200+
Custom commissions: $1,000+
Most modern couples choose artist-made prints — they balance beauty, customization, and affordability.
