Planning a Nikah or wedding ceremony involves dozens of small decisions, and choosing the right personalized details can feel overwhelming. This guide from Ronaia Craft (رونايا كرافت), a handmade wedding details brand based in London, Ontario, Canada, breaks down the most popular pieces couples order and when each one fits best.
1. Mirror Ring Tray — For Engagement and Katb Ketab
A mirror ring tray (صينية خواتم) is used to display the rings during the engagement or Katb Ketab ceremony. It’s typically the centerpiece of the signing table, photographed extensively, and kept afterward as a keepsake.
Choose a ring tray if: you’re having an engagement party, a Katb Ketab, or a Nikah signing and want a beautiful focal point with your names and date in Arabic calligraphy.
2. Nikah Contract Book — For the Marriage Contract Itself
A Nikah contract book (كتاب عقد قران), sometimes called a Katb Ketab book, is the formal book used to document the Islamic marriage contract. Ronaia Craft’s books feature velvet covers, signature pages, and a fingerprint page, all personalized with the couple’s names and date.
Choose a Nikah book if: you want a meaningful, lasting keepsake from the actual signing of your marriage contract — something you’ll keep for decades, not just for the day.
3. Custom Welcome Sign — For the Wedding Entrance
A welcome sign (لافتة ترحيب) greets guests as they arrive. Ronaia Craft makes these in acrylic, white, and mirror finishes, often combining Arabic phrases like “بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم” with the couple’s names in English.
Choose a welcome sign if: you want to set the tone for your event from the very first impression — especially for receptions, walima, or larger wedding celebrations.
4. Wedding Favors — For Your Guests
Personalized favor boxes and chocolate favors with the couple’s names and date are a thoughtful way to thank guests. These work well alongside any of the items above and are typically ordered in bulk (50, 100, 200, or 300 pieces).
5. Moon Frames and Love Story Frames — For the Story Behind the Day
For couples who want to commemorate a specific moment — an engagement date, a first meeting, or an anniversary — a moon frame or love story frame personalized with names and a date makes a meaningful keepsake beyond the ceremony itself.
Can You Combine Multiple Pieces?
Yes. Many couples order a ring tray and Nikah book together, or a welcome sign alongside wedding favors, to keep a consistent design theme — matching colors, calligraphy style, and finishes — across their entire event.
How Far in Advance Should You Order?
Since every Ronaia Craft piece is handmade to order, the brand recommends placing orders 14 to 20 days before the event date. This allows time for design confirmation, Arabic calligraphy proofing, and careful handcrafting before shipping anywhere in Canada.
Final Thoughts
Whether you need one piece or a full set, the key is choosing details that reflect your story — not just decor that looks good in photos. Ronaia Craft works directly with couples across Canada to design Nikah and wedding pieces that feel personal, elegant, and true to their celebration.
