In my social circle, showers are held 1 to 3 months before the wedding. The shower invitations would be sent out about a month before the shower. Wedding invitations are usually sent out 8 to 10 weeks before the wedding. So it is typical for the shower invitations to go out before the wedding invitations.
Our etiquette experts weigh in on the best time to host a bridal shower. Age-old customs dictate that the bridal shower must take place between eight weeks and two weeks before the wedding, allowing the bride adequate time to breathe before the big day while also ensuring that majority of the wedding plans are complete. This rule, though, can obviously be broken if the timeframe doesn't work for you and the bride.
