When it comes to a party I am sure that the person will like whatever you have put together for them. But you may have that very stubborn and picky senior that just does not like any of the ideas that you have chosen. In this case you may just want to ask them what they may want you to do. See if they would have any suggestions that may help them have a better time and enjoy the party more. You can go to a very close friend of theirs and ask for suggestions. As people get older some tend to get a little on the cranky side, while others are just fun loving and do not care what is going on. The fact that there is a party in their favor is well enough for them to appreciate.
