Ketubah Care
When you sign your Ketubah during the wedding, you will need to slide it gently out of the protective clear envelope. We suggest sliding it out just enough for the signature area to be exposed. As you slide the Ketubah back in after the signing, hold the plastic away from the papercut so that it does not catch on the cut edges.
Please use an acid-free, archival permanent pen for ketubah signatures. Some good options are the Sakura Pigma Micron 05 pen, the Prismacolor premier fine line marker 05, and the Faber Castell Pitt artist pen fine. If your text is white, consider an opaque white pen such as the Sanford Signo Uniball white ink pen. You might also want to bring along scotch tape for resealing the ketubah envelope, and a clean white sheet of paper that can be placed on the ketubah for everyone to lean their hands on while signing.
To maintain the centered balance of the ketubah text, we suggest that everyone who signs the ketubah place their signature toward the center of the line allotted to them, rather than signing to the far right or left.
Your ketubah will be made using the highest quality materials. Cut edges may have an antiqued look as a result of the lasercutting process. Please protect your ketubah color from fading by hanging it away from sunlight and other damaging light sources and by framing with protective glass. Paper artwork can warp from exposure to high humidity, so ask your framer how to protect your artwork from humidity in the frame and in your home.
Your ketubah will ship flat by UPS Ground, protected within a clear plastic art envelope and packed safely between several layers of cardboard. It will be mounted on a firm white gatorboard, ready for signing and display at your wedding. The white board will excellently protect your ketubah during shipping and during your wedding. However, as the board is not archival quality it should be removed during framing, soon after your wedding.
