Sometimes you just have to play into your inner nerd! We love this new design from the team at TINAK — perfect for the couples that love to play video games or remember the days of playing atari and pac-man. The black background and pixelated details creates the perfect retro video game feel. The extra heart at the top finishes the design with the perfect romantic touch! As self-confessed video game nerds, we couldn’t help but recommend this Ketubah! Make your custom order here…

Henna or more traditionally known as Mehndi, is one of the most iconic elements of an Indian wedding — thus perfect for an Interfaith Ketubah design! Among all the awesome Interfaith couples we have worked with, Jewish-Hindi couples are definitely one of the more common. This stunning design comes from the team over at TINAK, and we couldn’t be more excited to share it with you all today.

Here at Interfaith Ketubahs, we mostly write and post a lot about wedding ideas, planning inspirations and tips and Ketubahs of course! This week we thought we’d take a moment to share an awesome article and video about after the big party and signing of the Ketubah — when life happens. Afterall, the wedding is just the first step and mark of the beginning of the rest of your lives together. Then comes everyday life, work and for many, children! And let’s be brutally honest here for a second. For many, all of those different factors can be difficult on their own… that’s life when you’re married!
All of those on top of being an Interfaith couple and family can be even harder and more tricky. But we’ve found (like many other awesome couples out there!), that striking that perfect balance of respect, understanding and unconditional love can create and unlock even more exciting and new sides of your relationship with your wife or husband.
HuffPost Religion recently interviewed Susan Katz Miller, author of Being Both: Embracing Two Religions in One Interfaith Family. She had a ton of insight and important things to say regarding Interfaith marriages. Her biggest secret to a successful Interfaith marriage?
“shared values and a lot of love…”

We would like to spell A-W-E-S-O-M-E for all the Ketubah points! :) We couldn’t be more excited to introduce the Scrabble Ketubah! This awesome design from This is Not a Ketubah features a Scrabble board spelling out “Ani LeDodi VeDodi Li”, or “I am my Beloved’s and my Beloved is Mine”. As word nerds ourselves, we love the idea of a Scrabble Ketubah — or any fun game or hobby that we enjoy! Love this Ketubah? Make a custom order here!

Happy Monday from our team at Interfaith Ketubahs! We can’t believe it’s already August (it feels like just yesterday that we launched our page…) — and although this makes us really sad, another gorgeous part of the year is right around the corner. A beautiful time that welcomes back colorful trees, comfy sweaters and pumpkin flavored EVERYTHING! We really love summer weddings, but fall weddings have a truly special charm to them. In honor of kicking off chilly days and stunning foliage, we put together a gallery of all our favorite fall inspired Ketubahs. Whether you are looking for a Ketubah with an Autumn feel to it, or you are getting married during the colder months and want a Ketubah that reflects that — these Ketubahs capture the beauty of this special time of year! Check out the full Fall Inspired Ketubah Gallery here!

We’ve recently launched a TON of new Interfaith Ketubahs, but we have to say our absolute favorite in the Flamingos In Love Ketubah. Perfect for those couples that are animal lovers, or… consider themselves to be more on the goofy side! After all, the flamingo is one of the most unique (and stunning!) birds — making it the perfect theme for a gorgeous Ketubah!

Sometimes all it takes is a little inspiration to plan the big day. Especially if you’re planning an Interfaith wedding… okay, that can take a LOT of inspiration! Depending on you and your partner, planning something like this can be uncharted territory. We tend to meet Interfaith couples from every end of the spectrum — some couples don’t include much of anything interfaith into their wedding, except maybe a few different traditions (like the Ketubah!). While other couples want to two different ceremonies for each of their beliefs.
Either way, we love the Knot’s Interfaith album for that very reason. It includes a great variety of couples with all different styles of weddings and beliefs! From extra small details to officiants and photography — these real weddings are the perfect way to become inspired and excited. Click to see The Knot’s Interfaith photos here!

We have to spill a little secret: part of our passion for Ketubahs comes from the fact that we are die hard romantics. Whether it’s one of the classic novels of our time or a good romantic movie — we’re suckers for a love story with a happy ending! So of course, some of our FAVORITE Ketubahs are those with a good romantic feel to it. We recently launched a new Ketubah that captures that look — the moment when you know you’ve found the one. Take a look here:

When planning your Interfaith Wedding by far the most intimate (and perhaps tricky!), will be planning your ceremony. Do you use one officiant or two? Do you blend two religious traditions or avoid it altogether? How do you pick what to include in the ceremony, without offending anyone or leaving something out? These can be really difficult, but SUPER important questions to ask your partner. But before anything, we truly believe that it’s most important to put together a ceremony that feels perfect and representative of you and your partner.
We found a great list of symbolically simple, but still beautiful traditions to use in Interfaith ceremonies to help any Interfaith couples out there! Although all of these aren’t necessarily attached to any particular religion, they are great ideas to run with — whether you want to add something to make it your own or just keep it how it is. We listed our absolute FAVORITES down below, but you can check out the whole list here!
- Candle Flames – In this symbolic ceremony, each individual lights a candle. The lights of the two candles are later joined in the flame of a larger candle in the middle, symbolizing their union. The act of joining the two individual candles means forming a union while preserving individuality since the couple exchanges the candles in the process. This traditional act can be performed with just the couple or having their family members present. It is often performed in interfaith ceremonies although it is widely recognized as a part of the Christian tradition.
- The Cup of Life – Glass of wine in this ceremony is considered the cup of life, from which partners share wine. Wine, being both bitter and sweet, symbolically stands for the twofold nature of life which the couple will face together.
- Growth – As a tree, a marriage needs dedication and effort in order to grow. As a part of this symbolic ceremony, a couple plants a tree or a plant. Each species carries a unique symbolism which is explained during the act.
- Hands in a “Knot” – Handfasting ceremony is a part of the ancient Celtic tradition which entails tying a knot around the couple’s hands as a symbolic manifestation of their union. Wedding attendants may participate in the ceremony by passing the cord while uttering blessings and words of wisdom for the couple.
- Exchanging Roses – Partners who decide to incorporate the rose act into their ceremony exchange two red roses – well-known symbols of love. This act is usually performed after the couple had exchanged their vows and rings. The couple saves the roses and each of them picks a special spot to keep them in their home, as a reminder of this important day and their vows, even through hardships.
Praise from our AWESOME Interfaith Couples!
“We LOVE it… People who had never before seen a ketubah were quite taken with it. Thank you so much.”
