I recently did a shoot for a 30th birthday party. I've included some shots below but the one above is my favourite from the evening. The important thing to note here is that all the lights used are speedlites - either triggered wirelessly with remotes or optically as in the case of the Yongnuo YN560-II.
The great thing about a studio setup is that once your exposure is set, you can lock the settings on your camera and just fire away. The only thing you'll need to keep an eye on is the batteries. In the space of 3 hours (and a total of 650 shots) I changed all the batteries once only.
For a nice even spread of light where you potentially have a large group of people in front of the camera you'll have to go a long way to find something better than the old faithful shoot-through umbrella.
