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.
You'll need about eight weeks to plan a formal shower. So if the wedding is a little over 3 months from now and you're here, then you are right on time! If the wedding is more then three months away, then take your time now and develop your strategy and attack plan. Start to discuss timing with the bride.
