Just running this by you...
I am co-hosting a shower (well, possibly two of them) with the MOH for my friend that's getting married in July. If I am thinking right, we should have the shower(s) 'round about May? Early June? Please tell me if I'm wrong. 
I'm stoked...and I'll be sure to keep details posted as I get them.

I would say anytime in May is good, and if it has to go to June, make it the first two weeks. You don't want it to be too far away or too close to the wedding date. It can overwhelm guests as far as gifts go. Also, if the bride registers early, some of the items she chooses may be discontinued if you wait too long.

I actually have no clue, but Heather has some very good points.
I have been to showers very close to the wedding date, and it was slightly overwhlming for the guests, but the bride also seemed overwhelmed, especially all the odds and ends stuff she needed to get done right before the wedding.
I vote for May as well.

I agree with Heather.

You mention hosting two showers, but from an etiquette perspective you (and the MOH) should only host one shower. If the bride has a second one, someone else should host it.
