I always send it either AFTER the shower date or I send it with someone who's going to the shower.
I just got a shower gift in the mail and my shower has not happened yet! Nor do I know when it is! Although I am PRETTY sure it's this coming Sunday...
I mean, this guest didn't write anything saying when it is or whatever, but still! I'm not mad, I am just amused b/c it's just confirming for me that my suspicions are correct and that it IS this Sunday. I am debating on keeping the gift thing to myself or telling FH and my MOH...

I would probably send it before like when i got the invite and i knew i couldn't go. I just got one in the mail the other day from someone who can't make it to mine and it is at the end of July.

I had a lot of people bring gifts of people who couldn't be there with them.

We had our address to mail registry gifts to as my parents house so my mom got gifts in advance, and brought them to the shower (she wrapped if they weren't). It worked out great!

I would ask the person throwing the shower if you can send it to them.

I try to send it after the shower date, but for example, if u purchase online and send to the bride/groom i dont think you can control when the item is sent. So people see what they want to buy you and they order it online and ship it directly to you, so you could possibly get something weeks b/4 ur shower!
