I'm the matron of honor for my best friend's wedding and I kind of got it sprung on me that my bride wanted her shower in less than 2 months since it happened that I would be in town. I think I can get everything ready in time, but I have a few questions.

- Is 1.5 months too short a time to invite people even if they mostly live close?

-To save money and time, is it ok for me to just ask people to rsvp by email and not include rsvp cards and envelopes?

I think 1.5 months is enough time if most people live close but I wouldn't let it go much shorter than that.  

RSVPs by phone are email are fine.  I've actually never been invited to a shower that included RSVP cards. No need to spend all that money on postage if you don't have to!

I planned my own wedding in two month's time.  A few weeks is enough  time to plan a shower!  It doesn't have to be super elaborate.

The shower doesn't have to be super elaborate. You'll be fine. :)
