If the party is on a holiday weekend or if you have a lot of people that will need to travel to attend, I'd lean toward the 6 week mark! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shower-invitations#post-273403 Tue, 28 Aug 2012 12:32:25 +0000 Smurfette 273403@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always like invitations to go out 4-6 weeks in advance. I just know how people are so busy these days, I want to make sure to give plenty of notice. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shower-invitations#post-273400 Tue, 28 Aug 2012 12:30:26 +0000 photojane 273400@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm co-hosting my sister-in-law's shower in October, and I'm wondering about the invitation timeline. I'm designing the invites, but I'm not sure when they should go out. The shower is October 16th -- when would you send them? </p>
