Maybe try an "I'm working on expanding my business and am trying some new hostess coaching ideas. Would you let me try them out with you (because you're friend)? You'll actually have to do what I tell you to do to see how they'll work." I found when coaching friends that approaching coaching with a "Let me experiement with you" approach was helpful. Then they didn't feel like I was being bossy...
Just a thought...
I really appreciate everyone giving me GREAT ideas. But, I just learned that she's away until a day or so before the show. So, I guess it is what it is. She just won't allow me to host coach her. I don't know why she won't invite more people. I am thinking about writing, "Looking forward to your Pampered Chef show!" (or something indicating to others that she is having a show) on her wall on FB. What do you think? I guess she just doesn't see this as a means of income for me, which I desperately need. (In addition to all of our other financial and legal problems, my husband just took a pay cut $5K a year = $100 less a week take home).

Sounds good to me!
Next time she books a show start out by telling her that you love doing shows for her but this time you want to challenge her to beat her best and get more FREE. Ask her right away to brainstorm with you on who to invite, etc.
You got some great advice here, I have a friend having a show this week and it is the same with her, she doesn't invite many and has low sales. What I am doing this time is pushing people to bring a guest and I will give them a free seasoning! I am hoping to up the attendence. Since we have been friends for a long time, I know the people she is bringing and am doing the rsvp calls myself. I know these people have mothers and sisters and neighbors they can bring with them. Just an idea if that helps.
