XP: Need some creative ideas!

I am having a creativity block at the moment. Here is my problem:

I am hosting SIL's baby shower for baby #1 in 3 weeks. My plan since it is 100 degrees, just doing a light lunch with fruit salads, green salad, biscuits with light spreads, cucumber sandwiches, and a couple different teas, lemonades and water.

I was thinking of getting some misc china tea cups (nice ones) from some discount places giving those away as the favors. I saw a bunch yesterday at Goodwill for good prices.  I wanted to put a tag on them with ribbon but I cannot thing of anything cute to say on the tag. I haven't bought the cups yet so if you have any other ideas, feel free to suggest them too.

Any help is appreciated! TIA!

  • How about a quote about tea? Then say something about the mother/baby shower... 

     

    "Tea is drunk to forget the din of the world.  ~T'ien Yiheng"
    May sipping from this cup bring you a moment of quiet.

    (Stand up at the shower, read the quote and line under it, then say something about... "We know this mom to be will have her many days and nights of noise, so we're giving these tea cups out to remind you (mom to be) and all of us to spend a moment for ourselves midst the chaos."
    )



    "Each cup of tea represents an imaginary voyage.  ~Catherine Douzel
    "
    For all the voyages [mom to be] and [baby] will take together.
