I hope she didn't actually get the vacuum cleaner and start making all the noise.
Anyway, a good host must know that spills are part of a party. You don't want your guests to be too careful not to spill anything to a point that all they actually do during the party is look at the floor or the carpet!
Just be ready with paper towels or with a handy mop, as mentioned by the two other posters, and everything will be fine.
