Yes. This was an excuse to show off someone important to him to someone else important to him. With Jack, it was vital to him that Ianto and Rose get along (and Ianto thought her charming, really, in the same way Lisa was). Ianto was similar in that it was extremely important for Jack and River to like one another. River was something to him that he hasn't really had in a long time and he was reluctant to put name to it, in the event that it jinxed everything. Stupid, yes, but Ianto refused to name a lot of things (unless it was an alien artifact that demanded a catchy name. That was a different story entirely).
The scent of tea floated through the house, as Ianto placed a full pot on the coffee table, along with four cups and a plate of scones to nibble on, along with cream, sugar, spoons and napkins. Certainly, he was going to a lot of fuss, but he had a lot of nervous energy and it was his to burn if he wanted to. Besides, it was with these little rituals that they stayed civilized, right?
