You don't demo. Set up groupings of items that she wants. You could also have a food chopper with something to chop, etc. Then have books and order forms and just let the bride-to-be chat with friends and family as they come in. Have the food ready to go and treat it like an open house.
Have an apron to sign and possibly some door prizes for filling out their drawing forms.

What about having a "game" set up for people to play as they go threw. Maybe something with questions about the bride. Each guest fills in their answers and leaves them there and the winner get a xx added to their order. It would also be cute for the hostess to get pictures of each guest with the bride-to-be then have a 8x8 scrapbook sitting there with a photo mat already glued into each page so each person can write some advice or a note to the bride. Then afterwards the host can add in the pictures to the book for an instant memoir.
