We decided to give our GM'S tiffany & co cufflinks. Now the problem is they are all grown men... except for my 15 year old brother ( who is also giving me away) I dont think he will really be able to appreciate these as much as the other guys will. Should I get him the cufflinks anyway or make an acception and get him something else? Also any ideas?

ooo that's a tough on. But because he is also giving you away and will definately not appreciate cufflinks.... I would. I think the other men should understand if you give him something comparable. I suggest a pocket watch, similar idea but much easier to appreciate at that age.

I say, give him the cufflinks.
He is giving you away! In years to come, he will LOVE that he received such a nice gift- from his sister- and he will always treasure it!
But, right now he is 15. So, how about you give him the cufflinks AND a gift card to Electonics Boutique or a music store?

You are good at this stuff! Do you have any ideas on what I can give him that dosent seem like a bday or xmas gift? I want to be something nice and special... but b/c of his age I am just afraid he wont appreciate that stuff just yet.

Get something he will enjoy and appreciate. the other groomsman will understand, especially since he is doing 'double duty' and has a special role on your big day.

Thats what we were thinking of.. and none of the other guys could get mad ( not like they care) since he is giving me away. I know he will never wear the cufflinks again.. at least not for a VERY long time and by then we will have probably lost at least one of them

Maybe different cufflinks? Like his favorite sports team or something just to be different a little more fun, since hes younger? And of course something else...

I like the idea of the cufflinks AND the EB gift card. Since he is your brother and giving you away, it's ok to give him more. I think he should have the cufflinks. Every man needs cufflinks and while he won't neccesarily appreciate them now, he will treasure them in the future. Who knows? He may also appreciate them now, knowing you are treating him like an adult, like all the other GM.
