Invitation
If you plan to throw a surprise bash, draw up a list of some of your mom's close friends and relatives and send them invites before the big day. You can get some colorful cards printed or create some of your own. A handwritten letters, composed in the right way, can make good invitations. A personal call to the invitees can be sufficient if you do not have enough time to make extended preparations for the party. Even e-mails and sms invitations can work well if you have that kind of relation with the invitees. Take them in confidence so that they keep their visit a secret.

Party Themes
A theme is one of the prime requirements for any party. A good theme ensures that the decorations are done accordingly and makes the party more exciting. An appropriate theme for a Mother's Day bash is one that takes care of the age and tastes of your mom as well as the invitees. Go for popular themes like the 60's Theme where the decoration, music and even the attires of the guests must resemble the style of the 1960s. Or you can opt for the white dress party theme where white is supposed to be the dominant color of the party zone, right from the decorations to the dresses of the celebrants - everyone should come dressed entirely in white. Or you can request the invitees to come dressed in clothes of their favorite color or better, a color of your momma's choice.

Decoration
Decoration plays a prominent part in setting the right mood of the party. A proper decoration is a reflection of the taste of the host and can make a memorable party. Flowers form a safe decoration item and add loads of beauty to your party venue. Greeting cards, festive banners, balloons and even homemade crafts can make the ambience more colorful.

Dinner
A party menu is something that everyone looks forward to and make sure that yours does not fall short of expectations. Ensure that you have provisions for non-vegetarian as well as vegetarian dishes, if there are vegetarians on your guest list. A Mother's Day cake is an absolute must. That apart, you can arrange for chicken and lamb preparations, pies and barbecues to spice things up. Arrange for two or three kinds of drinks. You can either cook these up at home with your dad and siblings or get these from a good restaurant.
