I definitely think it's okay to send out shower invites before the wedding invites go out - especially if the shower is much sooner than the wedding! For example my wedding is in june but my shower is at the end of april. the shower invites will probably be going out at least a week or two before the wedding invites. of course, those who receive shower invites will probably assume they are invited to the wedding, so make sure the lists coincide!
i've been wondering this same thing. my MOH is throwing my shower and sending out my invites this week. I went to the post office to get all the stamps for my wedding invites and have been putting those together and will be sending those out this week as well. i'm not sure, etiquette wise, about receiving the wedding invite before the shower invite...oh well, I guess, if they do they do! I just want them out soon to get it off my plate!
That makes sense. Now that you put it that way, it kind of feels like "DUH". Hey - my wedding's in June and my shower is at the end of April too! I mean... not that I know when or where it is or anything. 
@SweetAdelineXO - my wedding is actually June 6! My shower is april 25 and it has never been a surprise - I had to pick the date because I live out of town and work on the weekends! Oh well, I'm sure it will be fun anyway :)
My mom is being super lame about it. She made me write out a guest list, so it's not like a big shocker that there will be a shower, but she refuses to discuss it with me and she's all "If you even HAVE a shower!" It's kind of hilarious. I promise I will act surprised, but I don't know why she has to get all silly about these things. haha
shower invites are ok before wedding invites.. showers usually take place to get you ready for the big event (baby shower=baby, bridal shower=wedding!)
I have always received shower invites before the wedding invites because sometimes showers are a couple of months before the wedding. No problem. :) The people you are inviting to the shower probably pretty much know that they are invited to the wedding anyway!

But my mom is sending out my shower invites this weekend. I was planning to send out the wedding invites yesterday. I know it's a little early, but the place is 2 hours away and I want to give people enough time to book the hotel if they need to. So due to some major printer malfunctions, they'll probably go out next week or the week after. No biggie, but is it normal for people to get a shower invite before they get a wedding invite? It doesn't matter because that's what's happening anyway, but I'm just wondering. Thanks for the input ladies!
