Birthday party app — photos and messages from every guest

A milestone birthday brings together family and friends who rarely see each other — and everyone has a photo and a message. Fest-appen collects them automatically in one place, rolls them live on the big screen and sends the whole collection to your inbox afterwards.

What is fest-appen for a milestone birthday?

One shared memory from every angle

A milestone birthday brings together people who are rarely in the same room at once — family from near and far, old school friends, colleagues and neighbours. Everyone has a photo of the birthday person, a story and a message. Fest-appen collects it all.

Guests scan the QR code on the table card and are up in ten seconds — no app, no account. Photos from every table roll live onto the big screen during dinner, and the guestbook collects all messages in one place.

After the birthday you receive a personal download link by email with every photo at full resolution plus guestbook exports. Ready to create a photo album, share with family who couldn't make it — or give to the birthday person as an extra gift.

What is included

Everything you need — nothing extra

Photos from all generations

QR codes on the table cards — no app, no login. Works on all smartphones regardless of age or model. Grandparents and grandchildren can both participate.

Live TV slideshow

New photos roll straight onto the big screen. Guestbook messages weave in between. An experience that brings all guests together — and puts the birthday person centre stage.

Digital guestbook

Guests write a message to the birthday person — all messages collected in one place. A gift that lasts much longer than flowers. The birthday person can read them again and again.

Schedule and menu

When are the speeches? What's for dessert? Add it once — guests find it via the same QR code. One fewer question for you on the day.

Practical info in one place

Address, parking and dress code — all in one place so guests don't need to ask you the same question three times.

Package after the event

The day after the party there's an email with one link: every photo at full resolution and the guestbook ready to print. Perfect for a photo album, or as an extra gift to the birthday person.

FAQ

Birthday app FAQ

When does fest-appen make the most sense for a birthday?

Fest-appen is particularly well suited to milestone birthdays with many guests across generations — 40th, 50th, 60th, 70th and 80th birthdays. The more guests, the more content is collected automatically.

Can grandparents and older guests manage it?

Yes. All guests need to do is scan a QR code with their camera — even the least tech-savvy guests can manage that. The page is simple and clear, and there's no account to create.

Can we create a personalised message page for the birthday person?

Yes. You can customise the page with the birthday person's name and a header photo. Guests see messages from other guests and can write to and upload photos for the digital guestbook.

Can guests upload photos taken before the party?

Yes. Guests can choose existing photos from their phone gallery — for example old photos of the birthday person — or take new ones at the party.

What happens to the photos after the birthday?

After the birthday we email a personal link to one bundled download with every photo plus guestbook exports (e.g. spreadsheet and printable page). Save locally soon — the link is time-limited (about 30 days). Read our guide to collecting photos from guests →

Can we use it for a birthday spanning two days?

Yes. Fest-appen can be booked for up to four days. Extra days cost 50% of the daily rate. Perfect for birthdays that span a whole weekend.
