Seems to me the crop factor with APS-c and a 50mm lens is going to result in a left-to-right field-of-view far too narrow for more than just a couple of people (50mm is the equivalent to about an 80mm full-frame lens).

My comment that the 50mm might be fine is based on my use of one and their mentioning that they would have some room to back up.

Also, one other thing I've heard about taking group portraits is to take several shots in quick succession. If you take only one, someone's eyes might be closed at that moment.

Good advice, especially with kids in the picture.
