This app is really user friendly and straight forward. Perfect to keep track of your guests. Just wish there were more card variety for the free version, but still it's very good.

Great invite app
November 20, 2019

I recently used this app to send out birthday party invitations for my daughter. The app is super easy to use, a great selection of invites to choose from and has lots of great functions. I loved that I could send invites via email or text message, see when people looked at the invite, customize reminder messages (which is stress saver) and message people. I used all of these functions.

It was so easy to use Punchbowl. I appreciated being able to see who had viewed the evite. It kept me informed as the time for the event approached. We resent the evites to those who had not responded. Would not hesitate to use this for planning next event.

I used Punchbowl to create a baby shower invitation and thought that by signing up my invitees would not get advertisements. They indicated the monthly fee and stated that you could cancel at any time. I cancelled my subscription within a month but my credit card was billed the full year subscription rate. I sent two emails asking to be reimbursed for 11 months and have not had a response. I will be telling my friends not to use this site.

Alaine - We hear you and we’re sorry you are upset. I've messaged you directly to get your email address. We'd like to help!
It sounds like there was some confusion here about how our subscriptions work. In order to remove ads for your guests, you need a Platinum level membership. Details are here: https://www.punchbowl.com/upgrade.

Customers have the choice between two different subscription plans when purchasing a membership - a monthly option and an annual option. It sounds like you signed up for an annual membership with a 7-day free trial. We'd be happy to help sort it out. Email us at help@punchbowl.com and mention Sitejabber so we can assist.

Couldn't Be Happier!
November 15, 2019

I highly recommend using Punchbowl for your next event! It was so easy to use and had several great design options to choose from. I sent several birthday invitations via email and never paid a cent. I see other reviews talk about a membership payment, but the service I used was completely free of charge.

I signed up for Punchbowl because they have a variety of invitations to choose from. I especially wanted a Paw Patrol invitation for my son's birthday party. The app was a little slow with uploading the invitations to the guests. Otherwise, great invitations and I would definitely use them again.

Not FREE but still GREAT!
November 13, 2019

At first, I was annoyed that what was proposed as "free" turned out to be a paid membership, HOWEVER considering the minimal annual cost it is WELL WORTH IT!

I have used many other card/invitation services (free or otherwise) and none compare to Punchbowl. They have full customization, options for unlimited free cards, reminders of special dates, a great attendee list with appropriate reminders. You can pay a nominal fee to have your own photos uploaded.

Functionally it is very easy to use and the amount of detail in terms of following who views the card/invite, how they RSVP, attendee list and how they help you maximize the response is amazing! Eventbrite does not even compare!

When I have had questions Customer Service has replied within 24 hrs and answered my questions. They were efficient, friendly and professional. It does not feel like a random website... there are real people there to help you.

In my first month, I sent out a business meeting invite, a "Thanks" to my great bosses and an invite to a personal social gathering; all of them worked wonderfully. I'm looking forward to sending Christmas cards and a Christmas event invite.

Let's face it, no one does snail-mail anymore. Email is the way we want to receive things.

When you consider what you might pay for nice cards plus postage this site really is a good deal. The cards/invites are fun, interactive, customizable and memorable.

I highly recommend and look forward to using Punchbowl for years to come.

I didn't expect punchbowl to be this AWESOME and easy! I was able to custom design my own invitations and send them out through both text or email, add additional announcements and send individual messages and reminders. I absolutely love it and would highly recommend it to everyone!

FANTASTIC!
November 11, 2019

This program was so very simple to use, effective in that I could design exactly what the invitation said and there are plenty of templates to choose from. The cost was minimal to sign up for a year and I would highly recommend this to anyone. I had a fun night gathering with a chef to teach us how to make some appetizers. Just invited some friends that I needed to spend some time with... it was great event, great invites to confirm numbers and great followup thankyou for attending.

Excellent!
November 10, 2019

Punchbowl is a fast and convenient way to create electronic invitations with all the bells and whistles! My favorite part is that it saves email addresses and names so you don't have to re-create each time! A great tool in my sales toolbox!

We had to change the date of my daughter's birthday making it sooner than what we had planned. Using punchbowl was a great decision to get out invitations quickly. There were plenty of wonderful design options and the site was very easy to use. They even sent an email giving me an option to send thank you notes. I will definitely use punchbowl again!
