Why? Why do you want her in the left seat? Is it to impress her by letting her sit in the most important seat, or is it because he right side is more pleasant to look at?
It's a bit of a Catch 22, isn't it? You want her to be in the more special seat, but her being able to be there on the first flight (without an instructor) makes it less special.
I recommend sticking to what's comfortable and familiar -- fly from the left seat, `cuz that's the seat you've been trained in. I used to send solos out the door with the admonition to "Don't do anything dumb, dangerous, or different."
Stick to what you know.
