Baby Shower Etiquette - When to mail invitations?

When should I send them?

Plan to send invitations out early enough to give the guests at least a couple of weeks notice: This allows them enough time to work the shower into their schedules and shop for the perfect gift.

Get your invitations finished (especially if you are doing custom invitations) ahead of time, so you do not have to worry about that and planning the shower!  Then, several weeks before the shower, send out the invitations.  If you send them out more than three or four weeks ahead of time, people will forget about it or forget about until the last minute.
