Selfie Post Box hire — also commonly searched as wedding post box photo booth, cards-and-gifts post box hire, tabletop selfie booth or unattended photo booth hire. A compact tabletop unit shaped like a post box, with a metal chassis and a white finish. A functional cards-and-gifts slot at the top doubles as your event's working post box; a built-in tablet camera below runs the full Selfie Pod software experience library (Glam, Magazine Cover, AI Booth, Elf Yourself, custom layouts) for photo, boomerang and video capture. Always unattended — sits on a side table at your event and runs itself.
We deliver, set up, test, and pack down. Indoor only — not rated for outdoor use. Digital sharing by default (QR, email, SMS, AirDrop); 2×6 strip prints available as an upgrade if you want printed keepsakes too. Booked across Surrey, London, Kent, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire and UK-wide.
Why pick the Selfie Post Box — booth and wedding post box in one
Most weddings need both a photo booth and a cards-and-gifts box. The Selfie Post Box is both in one compact piece of styling. Cards and well-wishes go through the slot at the top; photo / boomerang / video capture runs on the tablet camera below. Hosts open the unit after the event to collect the cards and gifts inside, and download the gallery from the touchscreen capture.
Three reasons it's the right pick for weddings specifically. First, the form factor — sits on a side table and doesn't dominate the room, unlike a stand-up booth that needs a defined floor area. Second, the dual function — replacing two pieces of wedding-table styling with one. Third, the software inside — the same experience library that runs on the Selfie Pod, so guests get Glam, Magazine Cover, AI Booth and themed overlays from a compact tabletop unit.

How a Selfie Post Box hire runs on the day
- Quote and book — drop your event date, postcode and guest count into the instant quote, confirm with a deposit, and send us your logo or event name for the overlay.
- Before guests arrive — we turn up 30–60 minutes before your event start time, set up the Selfie Post Box on the side table you've picked, and test the whole stack. Setup is 15–20 minutes total.
- Through the event — guests scan, tap the touchscreen, pose, and share to their phone. The letter slot on the front collects cards and gift envelopes through the night. No operator at the booth — always unattended.
- Digital sharing — guests scan a QR code or send via email / SMS / AirDrop straight to a phone. Optional 2×6 strip prints land in the printer tray if you've added that upgrade.
- After the event — we collect the unit; hosts retrieve all the cards and gifts from inside, and we send a branded online gallery of every shot from the night.
Selfie Post Box vs Selfie Pod vs Audio/Video Guestbook — which to pick
All three sit naturally at weddings and milestone events; each one solves a different problem:
- Selfie Post Box (this page) — compact tabletop unit, cards-and-gifts slot + photo / boomerang / video booth in one. Always unattended. Indoor only. Pick this when you want one piece of wedding styling doing the work of two (cards box + booth).
- Selfie Pod — slim stand-up tower, attended or unattended, prints 2×6 strips by default, runs in covered outdoor setups. Pick this when you want the booth as a centrepiece and prints matter.
- Audio Guestbook — vintage rotary handset for voice messages only. Always unattended, tabletop, intimate format for personal recordings.
- Video Guestbook — retro handset for short video messages (face + voice). Always unattended, tabletop, more personal than a booth selfie.
Many weddings book the Selfie Post Box AND one of the guestbooks side by side on the same side table — booth + cards slot + voice / video messages from one corner of the room.
Events where Selfie Post Box hire fits best
We cover every type of event. The Selfie Post Box fits in particularly well at:
- Wedding photo booth hire — the obvious fit. Cards-and-gifts slot + photo booth + full software experience library, all in one compact tabletop unit. Branded overlay carries the couple's names and date on every digital share. Pairs naturally with an Audio Guestbook for voice messages.
- Milestone birthday photo booth hire — 30ths, 40ths, 50ths, 60ths and 80ths — the cards slot collects birthday cards and well-wishes through the night while the booth captures the candids. Compact tabletop footprint keeps it out of the way of dance-floor action.
- Anniversary parties — silver / pearl / golden anniversaries lean towards the same wedding-style setup as the original day; the post box format ties into that mood.
- Holiday parties and small Christmas events — runs the Elf Yourself AI experience for festive briefs; compact footprint fits offices and smaller venues where a stand-up booth would dominate.
- Corporate dinners and gala-style events — drop-and-go format works well for indoor formal events where you don't want a booth dominating the room. Branded overlay on every digital share goes straight to LinkedIn.
- Memorial events and celebrations of life — the slot doubles as a place for guests to drop written tributes alongside the photos and short video messages they leave on the booth.
