Just wanted to get opinions on how far in advance baby shower invites should be sent out. My sister is hosting/planning my shower and she's not sending out invites till 3 weeks prior. She says any earlier and people might forget. I'm worried that's not enough notice for people. My mother says I need to butt out.
In my opinion, 3 weeks is too late to wait. Being as someone who is a planner and makes plans well in advance, 3 weeks notice could mean I already have something scheduled. When I hosted my best friends shower, I sent them out about 5 weeks in advance. When my best friend threw my shower, she sent them about 6 weeks ahead of time.
I think a month. Or 4 weeks is about right. 3 weeks is too short... especially if people work. Most places need 2 weeks in advance notice to make sure you can get it off.
Mine were sent out May 11 and my shower is June 14....so about 4 weeks
I have a shower June 14 also! My mom sent them closer to 3 weeks out but everyone pretty much knew about the date/time/place in advance so that's the only reason I was ok with it!
My shower is the last week in June and invitations went out a week ago. I thought it seemed early but the reason was that with it being summer a lot of guests will be heading out of town on weekends and whatnot so more notice means less chance of scheduling conflicts
Re: baby shower invite ?
And not agreeing with you mom but sit back and enjoy don't fret about the shower as you are not responsible!!!!
