Tips for social events?

[hjf]

Hi guys,
tonight I was invited to my neighbor's first communion (a 10 year old girl), and I would like to make some pictures of her as a present.

All I have is a D3000 with a 18-55 and a 55-200. I don't have an external flash unit. I guess the appropriate lens would be the 18-55 (I'll take the 55-200 anyway). The church is tiny, no more than 10x20 metres.

Of course, I won't be the only photographer there, and if I screw up, at least I'll make something better than a snapshot .

Anyway, any tips for this kind of events?

Some chruches make you wait until the end of the ceremony to take pics...fyi.

That's not an issue, I'll step on some old lady's head if I need to. I'm a regular to that church and I'm not afraid of them
