When to have a bridal shower?

Usually, bridal showers are held closer to the wedding date as it is not recommended to plan one too far in advance. Most brides typically have their bridal showers around 3 weeks to 3 months before their wedding date. This also gives them time to properly plan their wedding registry in time for the bridal shower.
