There is something quietly lovely about a Royal Mail post box on a wedding day. It is unmistakably British, instantly recognisable, and it gives your guests somewhere thoughtful to leave their cards and well wishes. Whether you are getting married at a country house in the Cotswolds, a city hotel in London or a barn in the Yorkshire dales, a wedding post box becomes one of those small details people remember.

The Card Box Co is a UK wedding post box hire service built around three things couples kept asking us for: real cast iron post boxes that look the part, a hire fee that includes everything (delivery, collection and a personalised insert), and a process that does not get in the way of wedding planning. We hire three styles, a classic red Royal Mail wedding post box, a soft white Royal Mail, and an Irish green post box with the traditional gold harp, each finished in genuine cast iron with a working lock and two keys.

Every hire is £60 all-in. That covers the post box, free UK delivery two days before your wedding, free UK collection two days after, and a free personalised insert designed in house featuring your names, wedding date and venue. There is no deposit, no cancellation fee buried in the small print, and nothing to drop off on the morning of your wedding. The courier brings the box to your home, your venue or wherever suits you, and collects from the same address (or a different one if your plans change) the week after.

The Card Box Co is part of HR Prints Ltd, the small British team behind Hues and Reflections, our personalised wedding inserts brand that has been designing keepsakes for couples since 2022. The post box hire grew out of years of hearing the same question from our insert customers: "could we also hire a post box from you?" So we built it. Every booking we take is treated like the wedding day it belongs to, with proof of your insert sent for approval before printing, courier timings confirmed personally, and a real person on the other end of every email.

If you are planning your wedding and looking for a wedding card box that looks every bit as considered as the rest of your day, we would love to hear from you.
