Either:

Stop her from snoring (not going to happen) -- you can wake her or ask her to change positions, but even if she is nice to oblige you, she is likely to fall back asleep and start snoring again before YOU can fall asleep unaided which leads me to

Put in ear plugs (if you have them) -- the earplugs should lessen the amount of noise to the degree that it shouldn't bug you, and you can always add a fan/music to provide "white noise" to mask her snoring... however, you might not have ear plugs, and so that leaves you with

Make her leave the room (hey, sleep is precious, right?) -- if you are mean, or if you are nice, go to another room. maybe the living room couch? This will work as a temporary fix, but then again, we are only talking about tonight, right?

Long term, you need to look at her habits. If she always snores, then it might be a health problem. If she rarely snores, it might just be because she is extra tired tonight or has a cold, etc.
