All decent tuxedo shirts should have French cuffs, which have holes for cuff links. You can ask at the rental shop, but it would be a low-class place indeed that rents formal shirts with buttoning cuffs.

I've always loved French cuffs. They're twice as long as the ordinary cuff, and have four holes–you fold the cuff over itself, and slip the link through all four.

Now, with a tuxedo, you would traditionally go for more formal cuff links–gold or silver with onyx inlay, for instance. That said, weddings are a time for frivolity, and cuff links are one of the more tasteful ways of having fun with a tuxedo. (Long ties, on the other hand, are not a tasteful way of having fun with a tuxedo.)

You can call the place they are renting the tux from and make sure that he gets a shirt that has holes for cuffs. If you want it to be a total surprise, see if the tux rental store will take the cuff links from you and present them to him when he picks up a the tux.

My husband buys shirts that have buttons AND have discrete dual holes for cuff links for more formal/dressy occasions.

Congrats and best wishes for your wedding and future together!

not all white dress shirts have a cufflink hole. YOu can always buy a plain white french cuff(uses cufflinks) shirt for $20 at the low end
