Outdoors reflector but no stand

[Bluemist]

Hi!

I have a session coming up with a family of ten this includes a 14 month old right up to grandparents. I have never shot ten people before. The session is going to be held outdoors- in a shady park...
I have a reflector- BUT i don't have a stand to attach it to.
Would prefer NOT to use it all unless I have to....but does anyone have any ideas (other than the obvious of getting a stand!for it!) for a makeshift reflector stand?

Or should I just forget the reflector altogether??

Bring another person with you to assist you and have them hold it if you need it. With a session with that many people, I always find it helpful to have another set of eyes to make sure everyone is seen equally and to help pose people and get them into position

There is no way I can get another person to come :( otherwise naturally I would do that.
I went shopping for a light/reflector stand yesterday and they had a great one that just came in but no arms for it so now I am really nervous and worried about this whole session.

What else are you using for fill lighting?

Nothing! Although I may have my 580 EXII by then...but doubt I will be ready to use it on clients unless its ultra easy to learn...
