Hail and well-met!

I'm starting this tomorrow for some coworkers. Those coworkers told some of their coworkers and the party ended up ballooning to 6 people, not including me. Anyone got advice on how to go about running for a larger party?

For characters... two players are veterans who can read character sheets. I could use pregens, but then they don't get a nice place for all the cards. Are there unofficial class boards I can print?

What I'm worried about is the noise level, and quieter folk retreating to silence rather than competing to participate. This being a more social issue, I don't expect to have solutions by tomorrow. But I worry about it considering this is most people's first impression of D&D. Any tips welcome!
