I know there are a lot of posts about this, but every situation is unique, hopefully you can help me with this one.  I am MOH for my sister. She lives in HI, is getting married in CA next July, I live in CO along with my parents. Her FI’s family lives in CA. Her bridal party is sqread out around the country…when do I plan a shower?? She will be in CO at Christmas and so will a couple of her BMs. So is 7 months in advance to early? Otherwise, I would have to plan a shower long distance and do it a few days before the wedding which does not seem logical. I know she doesnt “Need” a shower but she hosted one for me when I got married last year and I know she would like to have one, she’s pretty traditional when it comes to wedding stuff.  Any advice?

I think of those 2 options the Christmas shower would be better.  I think having the wedding and shower in the same week (2 events which gifts are typically given) might seem a bit gift grabby.  It is a little weird to have a shower that early, but I would keep it small- just close family and friends of the bride, and make sure they all understand why it is so early.
