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.
Traditionally, all of the women who will be invited to the wedding are invited to the shower, and the event is hosted by sisters, bridesmaids or other close friends. Invitations should be sent out 1 month before the shower. Address bridal shower envelopes by hand, using the formal names and written addresses of all the women you plan to invite.
