Our shower favors are pear candles with a hang tag saying "perfect pair" and the couple's names. The bride's mother wants to include the wedding date, (2 months away). I feel they then become wedding favors. What to do, what to do.............

Dear Perfect Pears,
Mothers really shouldn't be included in the planning or hosting of the shower. But, I like her idea.
One reason the bridal shower still has some reason for being in our culture is that it is also a vehicle to help the guests feel as if they are a part of the wedding planning process. They feel closer to the bride and her happiness. So, including the wedding date will serve this purpose.

I agree with rebecca; this is why mother's should not be involved with the bridal shower!
I don't see any reason you wouldn't put the bridal shower date rather than the wedding date. It's not really a matter of etiquette but of choice. So, if you want the shower favors to have the shower date then do it that way. Besides, they aren't engraved so it's not like this is a lasting rememberance with a date stamped directly on the favor.
Honestly, it's not really worth the effort to argue about. If the mom is insistent, let her have her way on this one and try not to involve her any further. Top Wedding Questions Forum Moderator - "Write your sorrows in the sand, your blessings in stone".
