    A good time for the shower would be 1-2 months before the wedding. This may be a very busy time for the bride, so be sure to consult the bride when setting the date. It can be held earlier, but it can be more exciting if held closer to the wedding date because everyone has marriage on their mind. If at all possible, avoid holding the shower too close to the wedding. It's a stressful time and the bride's schedule is likely to be jam-packed.
