First photography "job"

[cookblaze]

A friend of mine has asked me to do some photography work for them.
They run a greeting card company and want me to take the pictures of people to put in said greeting cards.
They are planning on having something setup during a Valentine's day gathering in a banquet hall.
Seeing as I've never done anything like this I'm curious what type of gear I will need.
I'm pretty sure I'll need:
Lighting kit (not sure what kind), Camera, tripod, Flash, Lenses.
Anything else?
Any tips?
Thanks in advance!

If you are not sure the kind of gear you will need, are you confident in your abilities to fulfill their needs?

What kind of gear do you have and what kind of photography is your normal experience?

Cybnew and Anke have good points. But I can tell you, you are in for a crap load of work. If you have no idea as to gear, hire a professional and enjoy the party.

What equipment do you already have right now and how much can you spend?
