Stupid cups...

This may seem like an unimportant detail, but it's aggravating me and I would like some opinions. The party rental place I ordered tablecloths and cups and saucers from for the shower called me last week to let me know they are out of business and won't be able to provide them. Was glad to get the call rather than find out the day of!
A friend has loaned me some tablecloths (yay friend!), but the cups are a problem. The only other rental place nearby told me 50 cups and saucers wasn't really worth their bother, and that I should call the day before to see if they had them available after providing for their "real" orders. AS IF!!! (Trust me, I am spreading the word locally about this place!)
So, what to do about cups for coffee/tea? I hate the thought of disposables, but is a good quality paper or eco-friendly foam cup okay? It's not in the budget to buy china cups. I know I am totally overthinking this, but I am up the HERE with this shower! Thanks again all!
Re: Stupid cups...
I don't live in the area where the shower is, and don't really have any affiliation with a church or know anyone here that could help me out with that. One of the churches I looked into to have the shower at even wanted to charge extra to use their dishes, tables, chairs, etc. The rental place in the town where the shower is has pick-up/return times that won't work for me, plus their prices were really high. I'm stuck!
Thinking a good quality paper cup, and dressing it up with a DIY sleeve in shower colors. Thoughts?
Honestly I wouldn't blink at a paper cup at a shower. It would be a non-issue. Sure it's not exactly what you wanted but don't drive yourself crazy over it.
If you really want china, do they have to match? Could you scour consignment stores and pick up some pretty cups and saucers? They could double as the shower favors.
TBH, if I saw 50 coffee cups AND SAUCERS sitting out at a shower, I'd probably LOL. I dont' know... well, I guess if the theme of the shower is tea party? But if it isn't - I actually hardly see coffee/tea served at showers in such high amounts and I haven't seen saucers used ... well, pretty much anywhere ... in the past few years. In people's home or out at a restaurant.
I'd go w/ a nice paper/Styrofoam cup. I wouldn't blink at this.
