Default Party photo advice

I have been asked to take a few pictures at my fathers birthday bash and want to have the best of both worlds & enjoy the party whilst giving him at least some images to remember. I probably won't take any formal pictures but just try & catch people relatively unawares

The party is in a large open restaurant on 2 floors and I wasn't sure whether to use my 18-105mm lens or my 70-300mm.

Also i'm still only playing around with white balance settings and don't know what setting I should use. I know I could just hit auto & trust the camera but I'm guessing i'll get better results using one of the indoor settings. I think in the early part of the evening I will still get quite a lot of external daylight through the large windows at the venue if that will make any difference

I'm using a Nikon D90 if that helps

Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated

Many thanks

Sheldon
