We have a special occasion, my husband is turning 65. Since I am now disabled and no one in the family has volunteered to help (but are coming) and everyone wants it to be a surprise, of course, what do I feed these family members and still make the birthday special on a low-cost budget? My husband does not eat beans!

I would go with 10 big bags of chips and dip stretched by adding extra sour cream or more diced tomatoes, bag of ice and homemade ice tea, coffee and bottled water... along with a very well decorated cake if you or others have time for anything more by all means tell them thank you :P
plan this for mid day b4 dinner this way who knows they might come up with donations to splurge for pizzas or everyone goes home b4 dinner :P
This is FAMILY. Ask them to help!
Take your husband out for a surprise birthday dinner, forego all the work and expense, and have a wonderful time!!! When the helpful non-volunteers complain they wanted a party, tell them to make their own party!!!
Tell guests it's a potluck as that is the only way you can really surprise him. If they really care that shouldn't be a problem.
Let the extended family know you will be taking your h/h out to *** restaurant and advise them if they would like to join in that it is up to them to make their own reservations and pay their share of the bill. On a side note, if everyone would pitch in an extra dollar or two then his birthday dinner would be taken care of. Everyone can always meet at home for coffee and dessert afterwards.
