I'm sure it will help! The whole site may be helpful.

I would love to make a recommendation for either yourself or whomever is planning your bridal shower. Checkout the following website for a really special keepsake type of thing that I stumbled on when I was looking for a special gift for my bestfriend, (since kindergarten) Brenda's bridal shower. She lives in Michigan and I live in Ohio so the simplicity of this Wedding Shower Keepsake Book was great! It went over so well with the guests and Brenda (the bride) absolutely loved it. She has asked me to do another one for the birth of her first baby!

(this site has keepsake books for all occasions) Look at the Wedding Shower Keepsake Book.

This is something that you could include in your shower invitations.

Hope this helps, Sarah

Hi.

No. The shower invitations go out before the wedding invitations.

I think 3 weeks is enough notice for a shower. So have them mailed about 3-1/2 weeks prior to the shower so they will arrive at the individual's home about 3 weeks before the shower.

Answer 3

Send out your invitations 6 weeks before the shower. Make sure you do not send a shower invite to anyone who is not invited to the wedding, that is considered rude and looks like you just want them there to give you a gift.

For your February 9th shower - send them out on December 29th and make the RSVP one week ahead of the shower so you will know how many people will be there and it will make it easier to plan for food and ect. RSVP date: February 2nd.

For your February 23rd shower - send them out on January 12th and make the RSVP date: February 16th.

For the RSVP have them call a certain bridesmaid to confirm if they will attend or not. Pick one bridesmaid and have her keep track of who was invited and who will be attending and who will not be attending at each bridal shower.

Congrats on your engagement and upcoming wedding!

With Modern life as it is, one should send them in advance.
Dates are so busy at times.
One month to 3 weeks in advance is OK.This is important so don’t let it wait until the last minute. Guests need enough time to fit the date into their already busy schedule as well as time to shop for the perfect gift. Invitations should include any and all places the bride and groom have registered. This not only assures the couple they will receive the items they truly need, but that there won’t be duplicates.

Answer 5

I would send the first one out first part of january and the second one out mid to late january. Give them a month or so notice of the event.

Send out your wedding invitations febuary sometime depending on the date of your wedding. You normally send these out 6-8 weeks in advance.

Answer 6

my MOH sent out my shower invitations about 5 weeks before the shower.

my shower was 3.5 months before the wedding, so wedding invites definitely didn't go out first.

just make sure that no one is invited to the shower that won't be invited to the wedding.

Answer 7

the only condition the place this is optimal is that if the guy isn't waiting to attend the marriage yet has asked to return to or throw the/a tub. otherwise, inviting somebody to a tub in lieu of inviting them to the marriage is unfavorable etiquette. this type of exceeded off to me and that i've got no longer even had a tub yet. a stable buddy of mine from college is going to be in a foreign places usa for the summer season. She isn't waiting to make the marriage yet she needs to throw me a bridal bathe.

Answer 8

I would say about 4-5 weeks before the event, to allow enough time for people to plan.

Answer 9

what my sister did was send hers out 1 month before, and then she sent out small reminders 1 week before the date. Mabe that would work best. (Formal invites go out first)

Answer 10

Later this month, beginning of January at the latest.
