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.
8 weeks before the wedding is usually the norm. My RSVP date is 4 weeks before the wedding, the vendor's head count is 2 weeks before the wedding (gives me time to track down stragglers between the RSVP date and head count date). All my guests are from out of town. Usually people will book their lodging (if needed) after they get their STD.
