you can tell people to bring their favorite picture of your mom with them and you can make a scrapbook for her...

favors? Chocolate? donation to something your mom would have a connection to

I just had a 60th surprise bday for my MIL. We did a scrapbook that people signed and it was decorated with pictures of her as a child, growing up, her family, grandchildren..etc. She loved it!!

We did chocolate favors that I purchased from EBAY and It had a picture of her placed on it. Everyone loved it!

Are you getting a DJ? You can do a video montage of her with friends and family through the years if the DJ has the equipment.

For a game, make up a "quiz" about your mom. Ask a whole bunch of questions ranging from:
"What's (mom's name here) favorite food?"

"What's (name) middle name?"

"Name all of (name)'s siblings in age order from oldest to youngest."
Give out the quizzes, start the clock. Game finishes when someone has answered all questions correctly. Winner gets a scratch-off ticket or a small token. Read answers aloud at the end of the game.

Also, give each guest stationary and have them write down a funny or special memory they have of your mom. Later, you can laminate the pages and have them spiral bound (Kinko's) into a book.

You can also mail out the paper with the invites and have people write their memory at home and mail it back to you. That way, you can prepare the book before the party and pass it around for all to read.
