∙ 11y ago- The reason the hostess mails out baby shower invitations is because it is a special occasion and it gives the guests that are invited not only vital information as to where the shower will be held, but the time and date and some guests enjoy keeping the invitation as well as the mother-to-be.

∙ 11y agoIt's implied that the guest of honor will be at her baby shower, so you will not need to send her a baby shower invitation. The hostess should ensure that the guest of honor knows the time, place, and location of the shower, unless of course, it's a surprise baby shower.
Rather than mailing the guest of honor the baby shower invitation, save one invitation for her to keep as a memento.

∙ 11y agoYou should work with the mom-to-be to set the best date for the party. Typically, in U.S., baby showers are held before a baby is born. However, some moms may prefer a baby shower after birth due to superstitions or cultural differences.
Typically for pre-birth baby showers, you should send out baby shower invitations about 2 months before the baby is due. You don't want to wait too close to the due date because (1) the baby may come early and (2) the days or weeks leading up to birth can be too stressful for the mommy-to-be to accommodate a party. After mailing the invitations, you'll have to allow some time for the RSVP's to come in (say 2-4 weeks), which means that the party itself will be held about 4 to 6 six weeks before the baby is expected to arrive.
Conversely, you don't want to throw a baby shower too early because (1) the risk of miscarriage is higher during the first few months of pregnancy, (2) mommy may not know the gender of the baby yet (if she plans to share that information for the shower) and (3) mommy may not be showing yet - a shower wouldn't be as convincing or fun if mommy doesn't have a big baby bump yet :)
