You should have a short party for her where everyone sings her Happy Birthday with a cake etc., - but have a side room where she can sit and receive visits/presents one on one from everybody.

That way she can keep her conversations direct and personal, but a big fuss can be made by everyone at the appropriate time.

That’s a great idea. I like the side room aspect. It’s impossible to keep people from talking to each other, especially when they haven’t seen each other for a long time.
