Seriously, cheesecake from Sam's is fine if you're hosting a bunch of people. But for a welcome home for the wife, if you're not going to make a dessert yourself, go to a good patisserie or bakery (the one at the grocery store probably doesn't qualify) and get a nice dessert that is obviously made for two people to share.
Ah, but will she feel so stuffed that she won't want to do anything, um, active afterward?

While I've been told that I make some of the world's best lasagna, I'm with MysticCat on this one. She's probably had a lot of fancy meals while she's been at the Conference, and would love something more normal, and lasagna is just... heavy.
I think you'd do better with either marinated steak or chicken, sauteed or grilled, a baked potato and a good salad. Work on the really classy dessert, even if it's pastries from a bakery, Godiva liquor, or strawberries with champagne poured over them.
Having a sparkling clean tub and special bath salts or bubbles wouldn't be out of the question, either. You want to say, "I love you and I'm happy you're home!", not, "You remind me of a goose that's about to become pate de fois gras!"
Bon appetit!
