Bridal Shower
When is it???
How far in advance before the actual wedding are bridal showers typically held?

Also, what are other kinds of "parties" that go along with weddings? What is a stag or whatever? And what is a Jack and Jill? I have heard of a few that I can't think of right now, and how long before the wedding do you have these?

I've heard about 2-4 months before for bridal showers.  My wedding is in June and we'll have it in March or April I think.

Anywhere from 6 months before to the week of the wedding. If many guests are traveling from out of town, it may make sense to have it close to the wedding, so they can attend. Otherwise, it can be nice to have it four months or more before the wedding, so that it will add to anticipation, without adding to a bride's last minute stress. (Some etiquette guides say to wait until after the wedding invitations have gone out, but I think it's fine to do it earlier, as long as all shower invitees will definitely be invited to the wedding itself.) As for time of day, the traditional time is Sunday afternoon, but really any time day or night is fine.

My bridal shower is a month before. A staggette or bachelorette party ( isthe same thing)  MINE is also a month before.   A jack and Jill is a coed shower or bachelor/bachelorette party:=)

I would think 2 months before the wedding is perfect but you could up to 4 months. I think personally a month is too close. People just bought a gift for you for the shower and then they give you a wedding present.
