Best Cufflinks for Grooms

For grooms, a pair of cufflinks can be an opportunity to indulge in a high-end piece of men's jewelry or something from a favorite big-name designer. It can also be a chance to add a pop of the groom's personality to the suit or to get something engraved with their initials (think future heirloom). Here are a few of our faves:

Cufflinks for Groomsmen and Wedding Party

Groomsmen often don't have quite as much freedom in selecting their cufflinks as guests or grooms. Usually, there's an element of uniformity to the look, whether that means matching cufflinks or a uniformity of style (at my best friend's wedding we all stuck with gold links). This means that groomsmen's cufflinks may need to be a bit more budget-friendly than a groom's. That said, they may not need to buy a pair for themselves at all–cufflinks are a very common gift from grooms to their groomsmen. Here are some of our favorite groomsmen-friendly cufflinks.
