How much notice for shower invites?
How much notice are you giving for your shower? MIL thought invites should have gone out Monday (My shower is Aug 21st) but since its a themed shower I had to make my own invites (which I enjoy anyway) but my computer crashed and I wont have it back until tomorrow to finish them up. I could hand write all the info but its a lot for 18 invites....if they dont get send until tomorrow of Friday is that too little notice??
@AZNikki1010,
My shower is September 5th, and the invites went out this past weekend- so I guess about a month notice.
@AZNikki1010,
Technically that isn't a lot of time, etiquette calls for 4 weeks on parties... But 18 people isn't a lot so I would probably just remind everyone via e-mail or facebook when it will be and that invites are soon to follow. With an intimate party like that, I would bet everyone is already aware of the date, anyway.
@AZNikki1010,
i have always gotten them 2-4wks before the event.. you should be fine.. my shower is next saturday aug 14th and we just got them out last week
@AZNikki1010,
I would say at LEAST a month ahead as a courtesy, and if you expect anyone to show. I'd be offended to get one any shorter notice than that and I wouldn't expect anyone to change their plans or schedules for me. Then again, I'm old fashioned (at the age of 24, lol).
@AZNikki1010,
I agree at least 3-4 weeks. People are busy and may have other plans.
@AZNikki1010,
I think you are fine. If people have other commitments for that day they most likely had them regardless of you giving 4 weeks notice. Mine is the 15th and invitations just went out a week ago Monday.
@AmysAngel,
Yup I think you will be okay. My shower is the 28th and we're holding off until this Saturday to mail them. I think 4wks is too long where people may forget about it. I think 3 weeks is perfect! Good Luck!
@AZNikki1010,
My shower is also the 21st and my invites went out over a month ago. Summer weekends are tough, best to give as much notice as possible!
We also come from large families and have a lot of friends so we are sending out 55 invites and probably expect 105 people. This is out first and we are having a Baby-Q so it is large. We are sending out offical invites this weekend for the 28th. But we sent Save-The-Date's at the begining of July... HTH
