I did this once for an ex-girlfriend for our 1-year anniversary, but I think it can be used for your Mom's case as well. Not really a party idea, but something perhaps to begin her special day, before all the other festivities begin!
Buy a private hot air balloon ride for her to watch the sunrise in the morning. Either go up with your Mom, or buy the private trip for her and your Dad together and watch the sunrise from the balloon! For added effect, blind-fold your Mom and make her listen to an IPod or something so she doesn't hear the noise, and take the blind-fold off at the perfect time facing the sunrise.
If you do the surprise thing (which I highly recommend), make sure you let the company know ahead of time, so the balloon is all ready to go when you arrive in the morning.
