Anniversary Ketubahs

An anniversary ketubah marks a milestone in an existing marriage, whether it is a first year or a fiftieth. Some couples never had a decorated ketubah and want one now; others renew their vows and want a fresh document to reflect the life they have built.

How it works

The text is usually a warm, personal reaffirmation rather than a legal contract, often written together and sometimes read aloud at a party or second ceremony. Couples frequently include their wedding date and their anniversary date, and the names of children.

Choosing the art

Anniversary pieces are a lovely place to be sentimental: a favorite color, a shared landscape, the flowers from the original chuppah. Any artist who takes commissions can create one.

FAQ

Common questions

What should an anniversary ketubah say?

Usually a personal reaffirmation of your commitment, written in your own words, rather than a formal legal text. Many couples include both their wedding and anniversary dates.

Is it religiously required?

No. An anniversary ketubah is a celebration, not a halachic requirement. It is entirely about meaning and memory.
