It was only yesterday that you were running on the streets with your toy guns all soaked in sweat and grime and now here they are helping you out with your wedding. You can’t wait to see the most important guys in your life looking all grown-up on your wedding day. During your special event, the baseball shirt and sneakers will be replaced by crisp tuxedos and shiny shoes. It is, after all, one special moment for all of you.
Before you march down the aisle, give your guys a small token of friendship and a “thank you” gift for helping you with your wedding preparations. You would have gone crazy without their helping hands. If you still have not decided on what items to give your guys, I highly recommend that you give them cool cufflinks. It’s a small decorative fastener that will add personality and style to their outfits.
There are literally hundreds of designs for you to choose from and you can even have them custom-made to match each groomsman’s style. To make deciding easier, I have put together some of my top choices of cufflink designs. Here are some of my top picks. You can select from this list, or use it to inspire your decision.
High Polished Oval Cufflinks
This style of cufflinks is perfect for your executive friends. The classic design exudes elegance and professionalism making them look more sophisticated. It has a shiny appearance which bounces off light making it subtle yet elegant. You can have your groomsmen’s initials on these high polished oval cufflinks to make it even more special.
Personalized Photo Cufflinks
When you think about personalized cufflinks, most people think they’re engraved. Photo locket cufflinks take this one step further. These cufflinks open up to reveal a small photo which you can simply insert. These cufflinks look like silver lockets and can hold two small, round photos. You can place your groomsman’s black and white photo in one slot and a complete group picture of the guys on the other. That makes them both functional and memorable, and thus an excellent gift idea.
Colored Knot Cufflinks
If your guys are fashion-forward, then giving them colored knot cufflinks would definitely be something to consider. With hundreds of designs, you’ll find a style for virtually any personality. If you want to give your gifts a bit of personal touch, you can have your groomsmen’s names engraved the cufflink case. Most places will actually add the personalization for no additional cost.
When choosing cufflinks, make sure you match the design to your recipient’s personality. If you are not familiar with your groomsman’s style or if you want to have a uniform design for all of them, it is wise to give them cufflinks with a simple classic design like the polished oval cufflinks, and make them unique by getting them personalized with each recipient’s name or initials. Remember, the point is not to spend a lot of money to make your groomsmen feel appreciated. It’s to leverage the personalization to make simple gifts more unique and thoughtful.
