Modern Ketubah with Tattoo Love Birds from Etsy seller jenniferraichman, $120.

For those unfamiliar, a ketubah is a Jewish ceremonial document. It is an integral part of a traditional Jewish wedding ceremony, and it outlines the rights and responsibilities of the couple as a sort of prenuptial agreement. During the wedding ceremony, two witnesses watch the couple sign their ketubah, and the document is often displayed in a couple’s home after the wedding day.

Ketubah have evolved over the years, and Etsy seller jenniferraichman creates simple, streamlined documents to suit modern couples. Ms. Raichman uses archival cotton-rag art paper and high-quality archival inks to print text in English, Hebrew, or a combination of both.

Left to right: Ketubah with Hanging Hydrangeas on White, $95. Ketubah with Retro Plant on White, $95. Ketubah with Poppies on Solid Color Background, $120.

Ms. Raichman works with couples from all different backgrounds, including secular, reform, conservative and orthodox Jewish, interfaith, and more. Her designs range from subtle florals to bold filigree, and the Etsy shop also offers custom wedding stationery, bar/bat mitzvah invitations, moving announcements and calendars.
