Wedding shower

So I’m the MOH for my sister’s wedding on April 30th. Essentially due to my poor planning, I feel like I’m rushing to send out wedding shower invitations. The shower is planned for March 19, which is only about 2 weeks away. I wanted to change the date to April 9 and give people more time to get gifts and to rsvp. However, my sister feels like there’s still a good amount of time, especially if I get the invitations sent out this coming weekend, which was my original plan. What do ya’ll think? Go with the brides wishes and keep it on March 19 or convince her to change it to April 9?

    A lot will depend on proximity of guests, how fast the invitations arrive, and when you need them to rsvp by. If they are by email, I personally think 2 ish weeks is enough time to know if you can make it and get a gift (hopefully the registry shipping is reasonable and can be delivered in time). If you are sending them through the mail, two weeks will may not be enough time to collect rsvps without having to contact the guests individually and I would push it to April 9th (Plus you won't have to rush if you push it out).

    There's still time of you send them asap. Where is her registry? Shipping times and inventory stock are messes right now, so I would ask her to make a registry where people can pick up at a store.

    Typically the bride dictates the date of the shower (with some coordination obviously), so if you can still make it happen on the 19th, and that's still what she wants even after being presented other options, I'd just go with that.

    You could also be less formal and send out e-invites so you don't have to wait a few days on the mail system when your clock is ticking.

    My bridal shower is 3/20, so it’s definitely doable! I’d recommend sending evites by this Saturday, as that’s 3 weeks out (and asking guests to RSVP a few days to 1 week out, depending on the type of event). Typically invites are sent 4-6 weeks out, but I’ve been invited to several local bridal showers 2-3 weeks out.
