Bengali Wedding Tatta List for Groom [Tradition, Thoughtfulness & Ties That Bind]

At the heart of every Bengali wedding lies not just ritual, but love expressed in countless, thoughtful ways – and the tatta for the groom is one such cherished tradition.

Whether you’re the bride’s family lovingly preparing gifts for your soon-to-be son-in-law, or a couple curious about the customs that connect families in Bengali matrimony – this guide is your perfect starting point.

From meaningful attire to heartfelt additions, here’s your complete guide to the Bengali Wedding Tatta List for Groom, crafted with cultural richness and a modern touch.


What is “Tatta” in a Bengali Wedding?

In a Bengali wedding, Tatta (or Tattva) refers to the beautifully presented gift trays exchanged between the two families – typically during the ashirbaad (blessing ceremony) or just before the wedding.

These gifts symbolize goodwill, prosperity, and acceptance into the family.

The groom’s tatta, sent by the bride’s family, is both a gesture of love and a tribute to tradition.

“In a Bengali wedding, gifting isn’t transactional – it’s emotional. The Tatta is a bundle of blessings, care, and joy wrapped in love. It reflects how two families don’t just unite their children, but share their values and hearts.”
