An 18th birthday is photographed by everyone and saved by no one. One QR code at the party, no app, one gallery for the person turning eighteen.

Turning eighteen is the party where everyone films and the birthday person finds almost nothing the next morning. Friends post stories that disappear. Parents take three photos and send them to the family chat, not to you.

## Features

- **Stories disappear, this does not**: What is in the gallery is still there on Monday. A story is not.
- **Parents and friends, one folder**: They do not have to share a chat. They do upload to the same night.
- **A short video of the speech**: Your best friend talks for two minutes. You want that file whole.

## How it works

1. **Create the page before the invitation** – Put the link in a highlight or on the card.
   - Name and date
   - A style that fits the party
2. **Stick the code where people get a drink** – Not at the door, where nobody stands still.
   - One large card
   - Anyone can scan
3. **Watch the gallery together** – Not at midnight. The next day, when you want to see who was there.
   - Share the link
   - Download what you want to print

## FAQ

### Is this the same as a sweet 16?

No. A sweet 16 is an earlier party, with a different guest list. Eighteen is the coming-of-age night.

### My friends already post everything in a story. Why this?

A story is gone. This gallery stays, and it is not tied to one platform.

### Can parents join without seeing the friends' chat?

Yes. They upload photos. There is no private chat for them to read.

### Does the code work if the wifi drops?

Scanning and uploading use mobile data. Wifi helps, but it is not required.

### Can I remove photos afterwards?

Yes. You manage the gallery and take out whatever does not belong to the night.
