Kiddush Cup
Our pick: Ner Mitzvah Silver-Plated Kiddush Cup with Tray
In a Jewish wedding, wine is blessed and sipped under the chuppah from a kiddush cup, which then becomes the couple's Shabbat cup for life. Some clergy use one cup and some two, so ask your rabbi; this is also often a gift from parents or grandparents, so ask before buying your own.

Kippah Basket
Our pick: Hipiwe Rattan Tray, 14.8 x 9 Inch
A practical object rather than a ritual one: the kippot need somewhere to sit at the entrance, and a plain rattan tray does it without competing with the flowers. Pair it with a small please-take-one sign so guests who are not Jewish know they are welcome to wear one.

Don't forget, nothing to buy
- The ketubah is usually commissioned from an artist and signed before the ceremony; start early so it arrives in time.
- The chuppah is lent by the synagogue, built by the florist or held by four honorees; Amazon canopy stands wobble and look like backdrop frames.
- Prepare the yichud room: a plate of food (you may have fasted), water, tissues, a mirror and a friend at the door.
- Ask the venue for two sturdy armless chairs for the hora and line up four strong lifters per chair; nothing to buy.
- Benchers (Grace After Meals booklets) are a custom print job from a Judaica printer, about six weeks out.
- The saved shards can be set into a mezuzah or candlesticks by a Judaica artist afterward; keep the pouch.
- If you plan a bedeken, choose a veil with a blusher layer that can be lowered.
- A tallit for the chuppah or wrapping is a ritual garment with requirements; buy it from a Judaica shop, not a marketplace.
