Baby Shower Help!!!

Hi,

I'm hosting a baby shower on Jan. 1 and was wondering when I should send out invitations? Due to the busy season I've thought that earlier would be better but what do you think? How far in advance should I send them out?

Thanks,

jen

Most people send out the invites 4-6 weeks in advance. I'm having a baby welcoming party on December 5th and sending out the invites at the end of this week.

Are you sure January 1st is a good day to have a shower? Afterall, it is the day after New Year's Eve.

I too question if Jan 1 is the best day for a shower (or any party for that matter). How about moving it to the 2nd? That is a Sunday and would probably be better.

i don't have any choice but to have it on the first...due to family traveling of those coming...it's complicated...but the 1st works for all the family...it's friends that it's more complicated.

anyhow...thanks for your help.

Since that date is set I would definitely send the invites out at least 6 weeks in advance. Good luck, and have fun!


It would be really fun to have some New Years Eve decorations!
