Jewish Brides-- Ceremony Paraphenalia

Ok.. I know there is a lot of stuff we need..

- something to post the ketubah on- to show the 'congregation'

- kiddish cup

- glass/napkin

What else? I know I am forgetting something.. Also, is there like a Jewish wedding kit somewhere- that would have all this stuff?? Or, do we just get everything separately at a Judaica shop or something??

Re: Jewish Brides-- Ceremony Paraphenalia

ceremony:
kippot
chupah
wine
kiddish cup
ketubah
glass/napkin

reception:
challah for the hamotzi
a washing station (if really observant)
benchers for grace after meals (if really observant)

that's all that i can think of right now! :)

Re: Jewish Brides-- Ceremony Paraphenalia

Ok-- I basically have it covered..

How are you displaying your ketubah- just getting an easel or something??

Re: Jewish Brides-- Ceremony Paraphenalia

you know, i have no idea! i will have to call my hall and see if they have a stand. if not, where in the world do i get an easel?????

Re: Jewish Brides-- Ceremony Paraphenalia

Staples?? Lots of businesses use them..

Do you know any places that we can get the 'Mazel tov' glasses- then you send it in so it can be put together again as a keepsake?? Do you know what I am talking about??

Re: Jewish Brides-- Ceremony Paraphenalia

We got our breaking glass at Yussel's, and I know they sell them at the Zion Lion.

LOTS of Judaica stores will have them - they're somewhat en vogue.

Re: Jewish Brides-- Ceremony Paraphenalia

Isn't putting it back together kind of antithetical to teh whole thing? i'm not criticizing, I'm just wondering...

The hall probably has an easel..def ask!

Re: Jewish Brides-- Ceremony Paraphenalia

It doesn't get put back together, it's crushed further and then put in the stem of a kiddush cup, or in a mezzuzah, or a picture frame, or something. It's a nice way to keep it.

Re: Jewish Brides-- Ceremony Paraphenalia

OH! Ok! I thought they put it back together into a cup, I was like 'that's weird' I gotcha now. I've never heard of that. That's really good. i did't even THINK of keeping the glass

Re: Jewish Brides-- Ceremony Paraphenalia

LOL, when I first suggested it to DH, he looked at me skeptically and said 'We're saving broken glass now?'

I still laugh when I think of his reaction!!!

Re: Jewish Brides-- Ceremony Paraphenalia

You gotta love these guys.

We looked at our first hall today and FH was like, can we just go bakc next week with a deposit? LOL...and I asked him what othr halls he wants to look at he's like 'whatever you want is fine..'

Oh well, easier for me.

Do you have any pics of kiddush cups BTW?

thanks

Re: Jewish Brides-- Ceremony Paraphenalia

i found a beautiful kiddish cup set in fortunoff i got it as part of my shower gift from my fils.

Re: Jewish Brides-- Ceremony Paraphenalia

Sorry, do not know about specific paraphenalia but I can tell you -- we are renting one, you can rent an easel from your florist.

Re: Jewish Brides-- Ceremony Paraphenalia

I'll check fortunoff! Now that it's nearing winter, hopefully they'll also put out more menorahs. We registered for basiclaly everyhting lenox (seder plate, challah plate and kinefe, etc), but FH doens't like the lenox menorah b/c it isn't the traditional shape.

Re: Jewish Brides-- Ceremony Paraphenalia

Good morning girls!

Last night I actually found a web site that does this.. All you need to go is send in your shards and they make it for you.

For those curious ones-- here are some pics of what it looks like..

Here we go..
