how far in advance do people usually send invites? when do you usually make the rsvp date?
apparently bridal showers out here are not a surprise and FMIL keeps asking me Qs and I have no idea! i've never been to a bridal shower

They send invites 6 weeks before. RSVP is about 2 weeks before.

Re: a few bridal shower Qs
Hey, it was intended to be a surprise for me lol I don't even know how my mom, sis and fmil arranged it all. I think depending on how many people you'll want there will determine how far in advance to send them and to rsvp them. No more than a month before the day should the rsvp be ( i think for a shower)... sorry, I doubt this was really helpful
My suggestion: stay out of it as much as possible! lol you have enough to worry about for the wedding, let them try to surprise you with some aspects of the shower

I'm hoping I'll have a 'real' NY shower too, but FMIL is throwing me something small out here. I told her I felt weird picking a date and mentioning it to my friends so FH is doing all of the dirty work. I feel awkward being involved, but to be honest I have no idea when invites are supposed to go out and all of that stuff.

Yeah, I hear ya... I just found my shower invites and they put the rsvp date for 3 weeks prior to the shower. My sister thinks they gave the ppl 3-4 weeks to respond.

The last shower I was involved in, we sent the invites about 6 weeks ahead of time. We included an email on the invites as well as a phone number to RSVP to. It worked really well, having most every invite accounted for with about 10 days until the shower date.

My mom sent them out the last week in February for an April 6th shower. She had no problems getting them back.
