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.
The time factor in planning a wedding depends on how large and fancy a wedding your planning. With enough money you can a have formal wedding in 2 days, but generally us normal people need about 6 months. Engagement should be anywhere from 6 months to a year long before the wedding.
