Father of the Bride Cufflinks – Styles, Engraving & Gift Ideas

Cufflinks for the father of the bride can be both a wedding-day accessory and a keepsake. Choose a pair that fits the wearer’s own style as well as the couple’s plans.

Check the shirt and fastening

1. Look for cuffs designed to take cufflinks, with holes on both sides rather than only a button and one buttonhole.
2. For a double cuff, fold the cuff back and align the holes without twisting the fabric.
3. Insert the post using the fastening’s intended movement, then secure the back. Check the visible faces point the way you want.
4. Put on the jacket and move your wrists. The fastening should sit comfortably and the design should not catch the sleeve.

Coordinate the wedding outfit

Choose between a wearable everyday pair and a more sentimental keepsake. If using a photograph, check the crop at a small size; if using a message, make sure the wording reads naturally on each separate cufflink.

Check personalisation before ordering

Only select engraving, photographs or wording when that option is offered for the particular product. Confirm the character limit, placement and whether the two faces can differ. Proofread names and dates exactly as they should appear, and check the stated production and delivery information for the event.

Care for the finish

After wearing, gently remove fingerprints with a soft dry cloth and keep the pair separate from loose keys or other hard objects. Follow the product’s care instructions for plated finishes, enamel and stone details. Strong cleaning treatments are not interchangeable across materials.
