 If the first toast is to the tamada, it is proposed by someone else, generally by the host, who proposes the nomination of the tamada.If the supra is very small, in someone's home with only a few guests, the role of tamada won't be specially assigned, but rather simply assumed by the head of the household.At very large occasions, such as wedding or funeral banquets, the tamada is chosen in advance by the family, who ask a relative or friend who is known to be a good tamada to lead the supra.
