I'm not sure if you were going to serve buffet style or as courses, but please make sure that if you are serving courses that the GF person has something to eat at the same time.
I don't know if you plan on putting matzoh in your chicken soup, but there are recipes for GF versions. Also, for your latkes, if you add flour, I would urge you to put in a GF friendly one. They should really work out the same.
Please also check your ingredients with whatever you add to the spinach salad, e.g., nuts or berries to make sure they say "gluten free" on the label. Sometimes wheat is added as anti-caking ingredient. No croutons unless their GF.
For starches, a baked potato or rice is very easy. Whole Foods sells a lot of GF items, especially baked goods so you can find something easy for dessert. So other than the homemade bread (and possibly the soup), your GF guest should be able to partake in most of the meal.
I am serving the soup separately, but everything else together. I'll make matza balls but outside of the soup, so the GF person can eat the soup alone. And I planned to add potato starch to the latkes instead of matza meal.
Does creamed corn have to say "gluten free"? the ingredients are just corn, sugar, modified corn starch water and salt. I am going to make a corn souffle.
