  No, don't send thank you cards just for attendance because that will look like your Mom is fishing for gifts. I am sure she said "thanks for coming" in person so that should suffice.

  If she received any gifts, even if they were not expected, then she should send thank-you notes to the givers for those gifts. But other than that, she doesn't need to send thank-you notes to guests just for attending.

  I actually did the exact same thing for my mom last year (right down to the # birthday).  Thank you cards went out for gifts, not for attendance.  As host of the party, I already took the mic during the party to give a thank you for coming speech and my mother greeted and thanked everyone during the course of the party.

  Agree with PPs.  Thank you cards for gifts, no thank you cards for attendance. 
  
  That doesn't mean that express her appreciation to those who came.  In the normal course of conversation or the next time she emails, she can always reiterate that she appreciate them coming and surprising her.

  Yup she will be sending out TY cards to the gift givers and @jacqes27, i also went on the mic and said thank you to all....its the best way to thank everyone aside from my mom walking around to each table. Thank you all for the input!!
