I enjoy making cards on Punchbowl. They have lots of options to choose from! It's an easy and quick way to get information to friends and family! I like that I am am notified when the invitation was viewed and if they have RSVPd.
Convenient and cute. Also fit my theme and gave a thank you option as well. Great app!
In these days of social distancing, I still wanted to have an extra special 80th birthday party for my mom. I was happy to see there were so many suitable remote party invitation options which I could easily edit leading to the perfect invite. (Not too complicated for the seniors yet with color and animation to make it special.). It was so easy to personalize, add more people, send a reminder, etc. Our Zoom party was great and it all started with an "easy invitation."
I really appreciate the card PunchBowl sent to me for starting a free trial and I wanted to leave a review in return.
First of all, we just happened to stumble across PunchBowl on Google when we searched "free ecards" (we needed a Congratulations card) and we have to say, PunchBowl is by far the best one within the top 5 results. (Including the ads)
We really like how the cards are set up. The smooth stages of animation that starts with the envelope (complete with stamp) and ends with the open card revealing the personalized message. The cards are also very tasteful with their designs, preset messages and matching envelopes. And the fact that we're able to add a gift card definitely makes PunchBowl stand out from the rest. (We appreciate that Amazon is an option) The only suggestion I can seem to make is to keep up the excellent work and keep making cards.:)
To be perfectly honest, I don't normally join free trials, but I was adding a gift card and I really wanted to send the card with how nice it was. I also wasn't planning on keeping it past the trial period, but now I'm considering it for 3 reasons:
1. The nice card I got for starting the trial.:)
2. Especially during this time, I really want/need to stay in touch with loved ones and PunchBowl would not only make it easier, but make it special as well.
And 3. The price is very reasonable and all the plans are setup nicely. Non are too restrictive so you don't feel like you Have to choose the highest one.
Stay safe, stay Awesome and have a great day. :)
Easy and great experience. It's awesome, all the designs are amazing. Thank you
This is a great app. I've used it 3 times so far and it's very easy to use u create your invitation right from your phone send them out keep track of guests. You can send a reminder to those who haven't rsvp by the date requested so there's no last min surprises. I have a very big family so we have very big parties so I need an accurate head count to ensure we have enough of everything and this app does that for me bc each guest has the option to put how may they are bringing with them but you also have to option at say no extras. Overall great app. I'm very happy with have recommended to a few other already.
I love using Punchbowl! They have a great selection of invites and thank yous. The app and website are so easy to use and the RSVP feature is so helpful in planning for any gathering. It is great to be able to post updates and send messages all from the app. A convenient and great tool for any get together!
User friendly, quicker and easier than sending out
Traditional invitations!
I love sending invites through Punchbowl. RSVP, cancellations and messages can be seen all at once. It simplifies the party planning experience.
I recently used Punchbowl to send out graduation invites for our preschool class. So easy to use and such cute choices! Really loved the response tracking... and the ability to see who has actually viewed the invite! :) I plan to use the site for my personal event use!
Efficient, awesome selections, and easy to manage! I won't use any other app for my events now.
I was very happy with the invitations, and how well the process worked. It was very user friendly, and included all the components I needed. I will not hesitate to use Punchbowl again in the future.
Every time I create something on this app everyone wants to know where I went and how much... and when I tell them Punchbowl they are shocked
This was the first time I used an evite for a party. It was so convenient and fun. It was also a great way to be able to contact guest with additional instructions.

I used Punchbowl for a Unicorn Birthday. The invites were great and the process was very easy.
I've been using Punchbowl for a while now and love the affordability of being able to create quality designs for invites and other announcements. It works awesome for both my small business and my family uses! Their customer service is outstanding, too. I sent it an inquiry and had the issue completely resolved within 5-10 minutes. Outstanding company.

After you create your card they tell you have to join and pay. On top that you agree to be deluged with advertisements. They don't even deserve one star.
