If you are working - getting paid for the job - I think you really need a pair of f2.8 zooms. That could be the Tamron 28-75 and a 70-200, or the Pentax DA* 16-50 and DA* 50-135. Yes, this will cost money. You probably should buy a flash and a second body as well. It's just the right set of tools for the job, and the idea is to not miss a shot.
As an amateur, you have a lot more flexibility. If I'm a guest and don't know the people that well, I like something from 85-135mm to shoot candids from a distance. In family situations, you can go shorter than that without missing anything - beyond 70-75mm isn't that useful. You also have the time to change lenses. I like a fast 50 as a complement to te kit lens, but the FA50/1.7 is the last one I'd get - they're overpriced. Either get an FA50/1.4 or an F50/1.7.
