There's truly no need to tell her explicitly. If she has any clue about people your age, she'll figure it out eventually. First time I stayed over with a male was a Saturday night. I told her as I was packing my overnight bag. The first word out of her mouth was simply 'no', as in attempting to deny me permission. I was in my 20s and informed her I was not requesting her permission, but rather telling her of my whereabouts out of respect for her because I lived under her roof. She cried and couldn't attend church the next morning because she couldn't figure out how to explain my absence.

I never specified our plans for the evening. Quite obviously, she figured it out.

And she got over it.
