You will be missed! If you can not make it to the wedding, please let us know as soon as possible and RSVP “no,” so we can plan accordingly.

All events will take place indoors. Rain or shine, we'll have a good time!

After the ceremony, you are welcome to enjoy all that STL has to offer while the wedding party takes pictures. Check out the "Things to Do" tab for ideas. Then at 6 pm join us at Union Station for the cocktail hour prior to the reception.

We want everyone to feel welcome and comfortable and therefore need anyone attending to RSVP. If you have any questions about your invitation or who is invited, send us an email at Effinger2022@gmail.com.

Our wedding is going to be mostly adults-only. We appreciate you making arrangements ahead of time and leaving the kids at home so you can celebrate with us.

Please refrain from taking pictures during the ceremony. We have a great photographer to capture every moment and will share the pictures with you post-wedding. Feel free to take pictures and use the photo booth at the reception.
