Have any of you Mama's planned or been to a baby shower that a "save the date" invitation was sent?…

When is your due date ? Honestly the date is always going to be an issue for someone, but it’s whatever your comfortable with .. it’s hard people really don’t RSVP anymore .. so it’s like guessing

@jellybeans_mumm I'm due October 27th, I'll be 33 weeks exactly on the day of my baby shower. The place is booked and paid for, I know the date won't always work for everyone I just want to give a sufficient amount of time but not seem pushy, ya know? Does a save the date seem tacky?

I totally understand, no “save the date” seems fine , that’s the new form of invites lol ..

I’m having the same dilemma my shower is september 22nd im going to do save the date cards and then my invite with RSVP

@jellybeans_mumm thank you!!!

@lee-lee I wanted to send my invites out like a month and a half in advance, when are you sending yours? Your save the dates??

In a month or a month before ?

Sorry edited the response I accidentally sent it in the midst of typing lol

@lee-lee I edited it sorry lol

@vanessa89breanne, it’s ok, I was thinking of sending out the invites 2-3 weeks in advance and the save the dates about a month in a half in advance. Only because around the beginning of school things are hectic and I feel if I send it too far in advance ppl will forget

@lee-lee that's exactly my thinking! Thank you!!!

@vanessa89breanne, you’re welcome glad I can help !

I have a save the date. So I know how much food to buy for my guest and for the party favors too

Plus mine is the weekend right after school ends in NYC and I know folks may be going away for vacation.

@ellyium that's one of the reasons I'd like to do a save the date, I don't want to have too much or not enough of things

@ellyium yes another reason too, mines the weekend after labor day

I was wondering the same thing. Our baby shower we're aiming for September 16th.

@angelbrownell26 I think im gonna wait for 2 weeks to find out what we're having, so I'm at least able to have either pink or blue and send out the save the dates and than about a month and a half before the shower I'll send out the actual invites
