Most commonly though, baby showers are held during the early stages of the third trimester, somewhere roughly around 32 weeks. This means that your baby shower invitation ideas can be sifted through much earlier than that. The reason the shower is held so…late in the game, so to speak, is too ensure that the mother is out of the danger period early in the pregnancy, but also because there is a higher chance for the mother-to-be to feel more physically comfortable in order to enjoy the day.
