When to have a baby shower?

Cat

I'm due August 24 and it seems like my summer calendar is filling up like crazy already. I'm trying not to plan too much, but also wondering when to have a baby shower.

I think I'm going to have to plan my own (my closest friend had fertility problems and was never able to have children and is having a rough time with me being pregnant). I just don't know how soon or late it should be. I feel like if I don't reserve a date soon the summer will be taken up by bbqs. I'm afraid none of my other friends are going to step up and plan a shower. Help! :(
