Getting good depth of field with my nikkor 18-105 lens?

I'm taking family portraits of four people this next weekend. I'm wondering how to get a good depth of field with my nikkor 18-105 lens? What shutter speed, and aperture should I set my camera to in order to blur the background out? Also i'm not sure what other settings I will need to adjust. I set it to it's lowest which is f3.5 and it didn't blur anything out.Do I need to focus on an object and then take the photo. Still confused on this because i'm still learning everything on this camera.thanks for any help!
