Scarcity first
Only one post live at a time. Far-ahead booking locks your exclusive sixty seconds on that future clock — not a shared day-long rotation. Price comes after scarcity.
Short answer
On MinuteFame you can book any free exact minute up to 25 years ahead — including midnight on New Year’s Eve or a future anniversary (/pricing). Celebration days (Christmas Day, New Year’s Eve, New Year’s Day, US Independence Day, Thanksgiving (US, 4th Thursday of November)) cost £5 for a message or photo. Ordinary days stay £1 for a message or photo. A video is £5 on any day (never more) and needs ≥24 hours before air for human review. Cancel before the minute starts (if not already refused) for a full refund (/refunds).

What do celebration days cost?
The five named days (£5)
- Christmas Day
- New Year’s Eve
- New Year’s Day
- US Independence Day (4 July)
- Thanksgiving
Ordinary days stay £1
A non-celebration anniversary, birthday or proposal on an ordinary calendar day is £1 for a message or photo (a video is £5 on any day). Celebration pricing is not “any emotional day.”
Video on celebration days
Video on a celebration day is £5 — the same as a video on any other day. It is not a stacked surcharge. For length and refusals, see the video minute checklist.
How far ahead can I schedule?
Exact-minute booking up to 25 years ahead when the slot is free (/pricing). Soft contrast: some UK birthday LED packages recommend booking only a few days ahead and cap advance windows much shorter (often up to about 30 days / recommend 2–3 days). MinuteFame’s unit remains one exclusive web minute, not a physical day-rate screen.
New Year’s Eve, anniversaries, dated moments
Lock an exact minute (for example midnight New Year) and watch together — countdown included. If your anniversary date is not one of the five celebration days, it stays £1 (standard). For birthday and proposal planning, see the birthday or proposal guide.
Video lead time vs far-ahead horizon
≥24 hours is a minimum lead for human review of video — not a maximum how-far-ahead. You can book a celebration-day video years out; still leave ≥24h before air for review. Uncleared = no air + full refund (/rules).
Cancelling a far-ahead booking
Email support@minutefame.com before the minute starts (if not already refused) → full refund (/refunds). Once countdown started / played as booked → no change-of-mind refund. Wrong minute / wrong file that played as booked → no refund.
