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 RSVP date is often about a month before the wedding. You first find out when the venue and caterer need the final head count (usually 2 weeks before the event) and then give yourself about 2 weeks for late RSVPs to come in and time to track down the straggler guests who don't respond.
