Time Frame. Traditionally, baby shower guests are expected to buy a present for the mother-to-be, so etiquette mandates that you send invitations anywhere between four to six weeks ahead of the party. This allows invitees plenty of time to RSVP and find an appropriate gift. The timeline holds true for email invitations as well.
