I agree with Bridget that 34 weeks should be the latest. It's better to give the parents-to-be time to know what they still need. And you want the mom-to-be to be able to enjoy the shower. Some babies arrive early, so you don't want mom to miss her special day if she ends up on bedrest or delivery early. I agree that you don’t want to wait too late.

We were supposed to be moving in the third trimester (which didn't happen) but what did happen was preeclampsia. It was a good thing I had it earlier. Not only would I have not been able to attend my own shower, but I was much cuter in my small maternity clothes (as opposed to trying to find anything to cover that belly!). I say between 24-34 wks is ideal. Plus it gives the parents time to figure out what they still need before baby arrives.
