Real New Year setups
House party countdown
QR code on the wall by the speakers. At midnight, everyone scans, takes a 3-shot strip with a custom "Welcome [Year]" frame, and the group chat fills with looping GIFs in real time.
Hotel rooftop party
Custom frame with the venue logo. Connect a 4×6 photo printer at the bar — guests print their countdown strip as a free party favor on the way out.
Quiet New Year at home
Just two people, one phone, the Cinematic filter — capture a single elegant strip at midnight and use it as next year's digital save-the-date.
Privacy: nothing leaves the room
Midnight photos stay personal. SnapBooth never uploads anything — every photo is captured and stored locally on the device that took it.
