Toastmaster on the day: Run sheet and overview on your phone

Keep times and private notes in check, approve guest photos and messages, and send updates to the guest page or big screen. The toastmaster gets a private link so hosts can share the job.

What is typically expected?

The toastmaster is practical help during the party: keep the programme moving, introduce speeches, coordinate with the venue and kitchen, and handle last-minute changes. Align with the hosts beforehand.

Once the party is running, fest-appen helps with the overview: run sheet, notes and approvals in one place on the phone.

Three situations on the day

The programme changes

Food is late, or a speech swaps place. The toastmaster can send a short message so guests can see the change on the guest page or screen.

A photo needs approval

When pre-approval is on, the toastmaster can review new photos and messages from the phone before they appear.

Several people help

Share the run sheet and notes with the others who help, instead of several group chats.

  • Agree order, pauses and who may speak
  • Fill the run sheet with times and private notes

  • Send the private link to everyone who helps

Common questions

What is expected of a toastmaster?

Usually: keep the programme moving, introduce speeches, coordinate with the venue and kitchen, and handle last-minute changes. You are the hosts' practical help during the party.

What does fest-appen change for the toastmaster?

A private phone link with the run sheet and notes, guest uploads to approve, messages to the guest page or big screen, and shared notes if several people help. Guests still use the same guest page via QR.

Does the toastmaster need admin login?

No. They get a private link for the evening. Hosts set that up in admin.

Do we need a big screen?

No. The screen is optional. Approvals and the run sheet still help without a projector.

Can I try the toastmaster tools in the demo?

The live demo is the guest page and TV slideshow. Toastmaster tools are shown as screenshots on the demo page. Get a trial page if you want the private link on your own event.
