A bou bhat highlight, from the bhaat kapor to the evening feast
The bou bhat takes place at the groom's home after the wedding, often on the second or third day. At its center is the bhaat kapor: the groom gives his bride a plate of rice and a new sari, a promise to provide for her, and the new bride serves or is introduced to the household, followed by a reception for the groom's relatives and community. Upload the bou bhat as its own WeddingEditor project, name the people and moments, and WeddingEditor's AI editing makes a Highlight Reel or a Social Teaser from what you filmed.

What happens at a bou bhat, in order
Details differ by family. Confirm the order with them.
1. Arrival at the groom's home
After the wedding and the bidaai, the bride is welcomed at the groom's home, often stepping into a plate of alta and milk (the bou baran) before entering.
2. The bhaat kapor
On the bou bhat day the groom gives his bride rice and a sari on a plate, symbolising that he will provide food and clothing.
3. Bride and household
The bride is formally introduced to the household and, in many families, serves food to the elders.
4. Reception
The groom's family hosts a feast for relatives and friends to celebrate the new bride.
One project, one edit
A bou bhat project produces one edit. Keep it separate from the wedding night if the couple wants two films.

Parts of the bou bhat and what to note in the preferences
The bou bhat can stretch from a morning ritual to a late reception. Decide how much of each the film should hold.
| Part | What it looks or sounds like | What to note in the preferences |
|---|---|---|
| Bou baran | The bride's feet in alta and milk at the door | "If filmed, open on her footprints." |
| Bhaat kapor | Rice and sari on a plate | "Must include the groom handing it to her." |
| Serving | The bride with the groom's elders | "Name his grandfather." |
| Reception | Guests, stage, feast | "A short reception section." |
| Closing | The couple together | "End on the two of them." |
| Jewelry gift | The mother-in-law giving the bride jewelry | "Show the iron bangle or gold set if given." |
What is a bou bhat?
Bou bhat is a Bengali post-wedding ritual and celebration at the groom's home, in which the groom gives his bride rice and clothing and the groom's family welcomes her with a feast.
It is not the aiburobhat, which is the meal before the wedding at the bride's or groom's own home.
Bou bhat highlight questions
Can the bou baran from the first day be in the bou bhat film?
Yes, if you upload it to the same project. Say where in the film it belongs.
Will the groom's promise be heard?
Yes, if you recorded it. The edit keeps your sound, and music works with it as your audio preference sets.
Should the reception be in this project too?
If the couple wants the bou bhat ritual and reception as one film, yes. Otherwise make a separate reception project.
The family wants the ritual shown slowly. How do I ask?
Write it in the feel question, for example "calm, let the bhaat kapor play without fast cuts".
The bhaat kapor took a minute. Will it be lost in the reception footage?
Not if you list it as a must-include moment and say it should lead the film. The AI editing follows the order you give.
What does it cost?
One Wedding is $119 one-time for one wedding, or one plan credit per project.
Does WeddingEditor decide which parts of the bou bhat suit a shared film?
No, that is the groom's family's call. WeddingEditor's AI editing makes the film from the clips you upload and follows your avoid notes; it does not judge what the family is happy to share.
