This will be in late september with about 100 people. I'm looking for some kind of nostalgic ideas for a this is your life thing.

For a "This Is Your Life" theme, use one central idea, such as music or television, and dedicate each table to a different decade of that theme. For example:
One idea is a "Music Through the Decades" theme . For instance, one table can be '40s big band/swing, such as "Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy." Another table is for the '50s do-wop music, '60s is the "Age of Aquarius", '70s is disco, etc. Put a center piece on each table with a big music note on it, along with a small banner with the name of a popular song that defines the decade. Then you can scatter symbols for each decade around the music note (use nautical symbols for the '40s, a doll-sized poodle skirt for the '50s, etc.) You can find the music notes and the themes at a party supply store or on the internet. Or you can go with bands that define each decade, such as Elvis, the Beatles, the Doors, etc.
Also consider a "Television Through the Decades" theme. Ozzie and Harriet, I Love Lucy, Leave It To Beaver, etc. A centerpiece is easy for this one: decorate a box to look like a TV, print out a still photo from the TV shows, and glue them on to the TV.
Consider what the birthday person likes. Fashion? You can do a Fashion Through the Decades theme (poodle skirts, bell bottoms, etc.). Sports? Do a Sports Heroes Through the Decades theme.
In your invitation, send along a blank piece of stationery in the theme of the party. Request that each guest write a letter stating how they know the birthday person and their favorite memory of him/her. Even if you don't read them at the party, the birthday person will enjoy reading them later.
Also request that guests send you copies of their favorite pictures of themselves with the birthday person. You can have them send it to you ahead of time and make a collage or a scrapbook to present to the birthday person at the party, or the guests can bring the pictures to the party and they can assemble the collage or scrapbook there.
Another fun game is to have questionnaires at each plate asking questions about the birthday person. Such as, "What was his/her favorite toy to play with as a child?" "What color was his/her childhood bedroom?" "Who was his/her high school crush?" "What was his/her first job?" etc. After everyone has filled them out, have the birthday person answer the questions aloud. The guests will score their own papers, and the guest(s) who score the highest will win a prize. You can choose something fun and inexpensive things such as scratch-off lottery tickets or a big candy bar for prizes.
Have fun at your party. Let us know how it goes!

My Mom Birthday Party?
POTATOCHIP
So, my sister and I are going to throw my mom a surprise party. But, I don't know what to do for a mom. What do I do? If it helps She is turning forty-five.
Answer
You should begin by setting a budget. How much money do you have to spend? Are there any close relatives that can help you pay for it? Don't assume that just because you're organizing it, that you have to do all the work or pay for it all.
What does your mother like to do? Does she have a hobby?
Maybe she's always wanted to go somewhere (like Hawaii, Caribbean, Paris?) but has never been able to go. Make one of those places the theme for the party and set up your house, yard, or wherever, to look like that place. Once you have a theme, share the idea with your crew of helpers.
Give friends and family different jobs: Invitations, decorations. Let someone plan the menu, let another person ask close family and friends to help make food (unless you can afford to cater this party). Keep track of who has what job too & their emails & phone number.
Maybe you and your sister can write (or print out) some nice facts about your mother on pretty stationery, cut it into strips and then roll it up, tie it in a ribbon (like little scrolls) and put them in a basket. When guests arrive they can each take one out of the basket (sort of like a favor). If you're not having too many people and you have the time each guest can read their fact aloud. Otherwise people will just open them during the night and compare them!
Does someone you know play an instrument? Have CDs that she'd like?
Who do you know that would just love the chance to play photographer? Or else just put a few disposable cameras around and let everyone take photos.
Have a poster board with a picture of your mom doing something fun or one where she looks good, and have everyone sign it like one big card.
Once you pick your theme you'll be surprised at how easy it will be to think of things to do.
Most of all be prepared with a few tissues when she sees how much you loved her and how hard you all worked just to make her birthday so special!
