any advice? its like a formal party full of old people.

been there, dont that. terribly boring.

shoot half body shots of them mingling with each other - laughter, etc.
if you bounce light from above / sides, you'll be getting some ugly shadows because of, you know, wrinkles. You'll have to do off-cam difussion

as omar said
put ur flash on a monopod, it makes such a difference

if the flash is on a monopod how is gunna stand? It has one leg he gunna hold it? o.O

you don't need to hold a monopod for it to stand

yeah you hold it where you need, or have an assistant hold it
thats how I roll
but you you then can also prop it up and wedge it between things, its what i did on a shoot yday; wedged it between stair railing
