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.
I ask this because I am a little worried about timing... My mom and sister are throwing my bridal shower 6 weeks before my wedding. I was planning on sending out my wedding invitations 10 weeks before the wedding (which I believe is a little on the early side) because they include hotel information, etc. This is obviously 4 weeks before the shower which also seems like the prime time that my mom and sister would be sending out shower invites.
