Let her bring it.... I was raised the same way. I could not come with nothing in tow either, no matter how much I was told not to. To me it's manners. Maybe you could ask her bring the OJ or champagne for mimosas.
She should not have pushed the issue though, if you said don't bring anything and she told you she was going to and you said no again, yet she still feels compelled to, then I would not have told you AGAIN that I was disobeying, I would just bring something simple and nice.
