Cufflink Help!

My OH thought he had asked for cufflinks with the suit hire, but I checked this weekend and he hasn't! They have quoted me an additional £20 per pair (I need 6) which I though was a little steep!

I am now planning on buying them instead, and the groomsmen and page boys can keep them as an additional gift after the wedding. I've never bought cufflinks before except for a birthday present for my dad, but they were pricey and not what I want to spend for the wedding. So I don't know where to start! Any suggestions please? I think we will want just plain silver, nothing special and nothing personalised.

Also- I have 2 pageboys under 5, do they have the same size cufflinks as the men or can you buy children's sizes...

    We're getting ours off eBay but I know a lot of the internet wedding places sell them. Failing that jewellers like H Samuel, Next or Tie Rack sell them for reasonable prices ?

    £20.00 per pair to hire? are you sure this is right? My shop is slightly more expensive than most but I would not consider hiring cufflinks for £20.00. If they are £20.00 to hire they must have a retail value of £60.00 - £80.00. A bit strange. I normally hire my cufflinks (quite nice swivel link plain silver) for £2.00 per pair if you are hiring suits.

    Check our fleabay. There is a sellers shop called 'Personalised Engraved Gifts' they do plain silver links engraved with your own message and free delivery for £7.99 per pair.

    I bought some lovely ones from TopMan for about £10, although h2b will be wearing his Transformers cufflinks on the wedding day (which I got off eBay for about £8!).

    I just ordered some from Debenhams in their sale they are £8 a pair but really funky - I've ordered football pitch ones, rubix cube, record player, guitar, and beer glass ones, they're fab and come in a nice little box

    I'm pretty certain they quoted £20 each when I queried plain silver ones. I might check again as i'm doubting myself now... Thanks for the tip, I'll have a look as it might be nice to engrave them all.

    Could try M&S, TM Lewin, or Topman.

    if they wear suits to work you could also make these part of the groomsmens' gifts?

    M & S have some decent ones, have also got a pair from Timpsons following a packing error, also have a fairly nice pair that came out of a Christmas Cracker! One of my Next shirts also came with some! Should be far less than £20 to buy. Pretty well any shop selling suits will sell cufflinks.

    If you are after sterling silver cufflinks try this place:

    http://www.silverplace.co.uk/productdetails.php?pdid=696&cat_idi=330

    Those are the cufflinks we bought our BM and ushers. We got them engraved with their initials but you dont have to. I found them the cheapest for square sterling silver cufflinks (even compared to ebay).

    You can get silver plated for extremely cheap though - just google silver cufflinks and loads of places will come up!
