Entertaining

My mother's 49th birthday is tomorrow and my grandmother (mom's mom) suggested we throw her a surprise party Saturday to celebrate since she's never had a real birthday party before. We've taken her out to eat and things like that for her birthday, but she's never had the cake and the streamers and the whole nine.
Here's the deal: my mother and my cousin (her neice) will be going to Texas tonight to see one of my cousins (again, her neice) graduate tomorrow. They'll be getting back in to Georgia Saturday night. My grandmother suggested we throw the party at my cousin's house (the one going with my mother to Texas, of course) Saturday night, surprising my unsuspecting mother when they get back.
I think it's a great plan, but I've never thrown a simple party before, much less a surprise party!
Her favorite colors are yellow and purple so I was thinking about getting the streamers and the cake in those colors and serving margaritas as that's her favorite drink.

My work is having a potluck next week and somebody came up with the plan of having a "movie' theme. We need to bring something that relates to a movie in some way. Here are some ideas people have come up with:

Finding Nemo - Sushi
Napoleon Dynamite - Quesadillas
Wedding Crashers - Cake
The Simpsons - Donuts.

Anybody have some ideas they can share with me....I am drawing a blank on this.

Any help would be really appreciated because I am not feeling very creative right now.

I'm pretty sure they don't bake around it.
Do they stick it in after?
I'm just curious.
It's not like a life or death situation.
I'd love an answer though.
Please&thankyou ! =]
