You have the option to have the artist complete the blank spaces within the ketubah text including your names, the date and the location of your wedding in both Hebrew and English. This is done by hand in matching or complementary calligraphy if the print is a lithograph. In most cases the artists fill in their own ketubot. If the artist is unavailable, the ketubah will be filled in by a calligrapher experienced in matching that artist's lettering style.

On giclee prints, the personalizing is incorporated seamlessly into the computer-lettered text. We do have a few artists that use the giclee method to print the ketubah and then personalize it by hand since the text was reproduced from their own calligraphy.

Generally, there is an additional charge for personalizing a ketubah but some artists include it in their price. If you plan to have your rabbi or cantor do the fill-in be sure to ask them first if they are willing. Some prefer not to risk writing on the artwork. On the other hand, some clergy insist that the ketubah be filled in by hand at the wedding. It’s always best to check.

PLEASE NOTE: Our artists offer the service of personalizing your ketubah. There are many different papers that ketubot are printed on and each artist is experienced at choosing the proper ink and pen type for their artwork. If you're having a rabbi fill in the blank spaces as a contract, we recommend using a medium ballpoint pen. If you are having your own calligrapher fill it in, please note that you and/or your own calligrapher must take full responsibility if any damage is done to the artwork.
