A compact tabletop post-box-shaped unit. Set it on a side table at your event and it runs itself. Guests tap the touchscreen to take a photo, boomerang or short video, pick from the full Selfie Pod software experience library, and share to their phone by QR, email, SMS or AirDrop. The letter slot on the front is functional too — guests post wedding cards and gift envelopes into the same unit as the booth.

It's a wedding post box and a photo booth in one compact tabletop unit. Cards and photos go through the same piece of styling on the table — no separate cards box crowding the entrance, no big booth dominating the room. Pairs naturally with our Audio Guestbook and Video Guestbook for events that want a full self-service guestbook setup.

We deliver, set up, test and pack down. Always unattended — drop-and-go for the duration of your hire.

  • Setup takes 15–20 minutes
  • We arrive 30–60 minutes before your event start time
  • 1 × standard 13A mains socket required
  • Always unattended — self-service throughout the event
  • Indoor only — not rated for outdoor use
  • We cover Surrey, London, Kent and the rest of the UK

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Selfie Post Box?

A compact tabletop unit shaped like a post box. Metal chassis with a white finish, a functional cards-and-gifts slot at the top, and a built-in tablet camera with a soft LED fill light below. Guests tap the touchscreen for photo, boomerang or video capture, and the same unit acts as your event's working post box for cards and gift envelopes.

How is the Selfie Post Box different from the regular Selfie Pod?

Different form factor, different operating mode, similar software inside. The Selfie Pod is a slim stand-up tower that runs attended or unattended and produces 2×6 strip prints by default. The Selfie Post Box is a compact tabletop unit, always unattended, digital-share by default (with 2×6 strip printing as an upgrade), and adds a real cards-and-gifts slot. Pick the Selfie Post Box for weddings where you want a working cards box and a photo booth in one piece of styling on a side table; pick the Selfie Pod for events where prints are the priority and you want the booth as a centrepiece.

Is the letter slot actually functional?

Yes — the slot on the front is a real opening into the unit. Guests post wedding cards, gift envelopes and well-wishes into it through the night, same as a traditional wedding post box. Hosts open the unit after the event to collect everything inside.

Does the Selfie Post Box print photos?

Digital share by default — guests share photos / boomerangs / videos to their phone via QR, email, SMS or AirDrop. 2×6 strip prints are available as an upgrade if you want printed keepsakes alongside the digital share. Flag at quote stage if you want the printing module included.

What capture modes does it offer?

Photo, boomerang and short video. Guests pick from the touchscreen. All three share to phone digitally; only stills print if you've added the 2×6 strip-print upgrade.

What software experiences can it run?

The full Surrey FaceBooth experience library — same as the Selfie Pod. The Kardashian Glam Booth, Newspaper & Magazine Cover, AI Photo Booth, Elf Yourself AI and custom layouts all run on the tablet camera inside the Selfie Post Box. The only experience that needs different kit is the Green Screen Dream Machine.

Is the Selfie Post Box attended or unattended?

Always unattended — drop-and-go for the duration of the hire. The touchscreen is designed for guests of every age to use solo. A team member is in the area throughout in case anything needs attention, but no operator stands at the booth. If you want an attended hire instead, the Selfie Pod is the right pick.

Where does it fit best at a wedding?

On a side table near the guest entrance, the seating plan, or the cards-and-gifts table — wherever you'd put a traditional wedding post box. Because it's both the cards box and the photo booth, you only need one piece of styling on that table instead of two. The compact tabletop footprint slots into venue corners larger booths wouldn't fit.

Can it do video messages like the Video Guestbook?

It captures short video clips, yes — guests pick "video" on the touchscreen and record. The Video Guestbook is a different chassis (retro tabletop handset) and a different framing (guests pick up a receiver and leave a personal voice-and-picture message for the host). If voice messages and the "phone receiver" experience matter for your event, book the Video Guestbook; if you want the cards-and-gifts slot + photo / boomerang / video plus the full Selfie Pod experience library, book the Selfie Post Box. Some events book both side by side.

Can it be paired with the audio or video guestbook?

Yes — popular wedding pairing. The Audio Guestbook (voice messages on a vintage rotary handset) and Video Guestbook (video messages on a retro handset) both sit naturally on the same side table as the Selfie Post Box. One booking, one delivery; complementary capture formats from one corner of the room.

Can we add custom branding to the photos?

Yes — branded overlay is included as standard. Send us your logo, wedding monogram, event name or hashtag at booking and it's applied to every digital share (and every printed strip if you've added the print upgrade).

Does the Selfie Post Box work outdoors?

No — indoor use only. The electronics and metal chassis aren't rated for outdoor use, even covered. For outdoor-friendly hires, the Selfie Pod, Magic Mirror and Vintage Photo Booth all work in covered outdoor setups (marquee, gazebo, building canopy on a solid surface).

How much does Selfie Post Box hire cost?

Pricing depends on event type, distance from our Surrey base, hire duration and any add-ons (the 2×6 strip-print upgrade is the most common one). Use the instant quote builder to get a tailored figure in under a minute — drop in your date, postcode and guest count and we'll come straight back. Corporate and brand-event pricing is on a separate tier to weddings and private parties.

How far in advance should we book?

As early as you can — peak Saturday wedding dates book out furthest ahead. Weekday and off-peak dates are often available with much shorter notice. Send your date and postcode through the instant quote and we'll confirm availability straight away.

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.

What's included in Selfie Post Box hire as standard

  • Compact tabletop post-box-shaped unit — metal chassis with a white finish
  • Functional cards-and-gifts slot — doubles as a working wedding post box
  • Built-in tablet camera with soft LED fill light
  • Photo, boomerang and video capture modes
  • Full Selfie Pod software experience library (Glam, Magazine Cover, AI Booth, Elf Yourself, custom layouts)
  • Branded overlay on every digital share (logo, names, monogram or hashtag)
  • QR-code, email, SMS and AirDrop sharing for digital copies
  • Branded online gallery delivered after the event
  • Always unattended — self-service throughout the event

Add-ons available with Selfie Post Box hire

  • 2×6 strip-print upgrade — adds a dye-sublimation printer module so guests get a printed strip alongside the digital share
  • Themed prop kits on request — flag a theme (wedding, hen, Christmas, milestone birthday) at quote stage and we'll do our best to match
  • Audio Guestbook pairing — the Audio Guestbook sits naturally on the same side table for voice messages alongside the photos and cards
  • Video Guestbook pairing — the Video Guestbook adds a dedicated retro handset for personal video messages
  • Custom overlay design — bespoke graphics beyond the standard overlay templates, designed to brief

Software experiences that run on the Selfie Post Box

Same library as the Selfie Pod. The capture hardware is the tablet camera inside the Post Box; the experience layered on top is configurable per event:

The only experience that needs different kit is the Green Screen Dream Machine — that runs on a dedicated booth.

Space, power and venue requirements

  • Side table or stable level surface — minimal floor footprint
  • 1 × standard 13A mains socket within reach
  • Indoor only — not rated for outdoor use, even covered

How a Selfie Post Box hire runs on the day

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.

Booth and wedding post box in one compact unit

The Selfie Post Box is a tabletop unit shaped like a post box, with a real cards-and-gifts slot at the top and a built-in tablet camera below. Guests use the touchscreen for photo, boomerang or video capture — the full Selfie Pod software experience library runs on it — and the same unit acts as your event's working post box for cards and gift envelopes. Slim enough to leave on a side table without crowding the venue.
