Planned My Party With Punchbowl!
December 28, 2019

My Punchbowl Christmas Party Invitation worked flawlessly. It had all the options I needed to get the guests I wanted invited and allowed each guest to indicate the pot luck item of their choice to make for the party. I will use Punchbowl when planning my next gathering.

I have been using Punchbowl for invitations for years. The variety is amazing and there is always something that meets my needs. They are all beautiful and recipients have often commented about them.

Googling "free" online invitations still turns up Punchbowl despite the fact that they now charge a monthly fee to use. The casual user who only hosts a couple of parties a year simply has no use for a monthly site fee. Everyone I know was fine to see the ads as that is the cost of having your free invites, but I see that Punchbowl wanted to up their revenue stream. Back to Evite I go.

Punchbowl attempted to help this customer through the SmartCustomer Resolution Center, but the customer did not respond

Highly recommend
December 27, 2019

I planned my child birthday on this which is free to use! Everyone got the invitations and any comments I made regarding the party. They found it super easy to use and my daughter got to choose her own invitation from the templates they have. I highly recommend to use this for a celebration you have coming up :)

Adorable and so easy invite!
December 27, 2019

The selections of invitations for a First Birthday party was plentiful! It was so easy to design then send out via text to everyone! I loved getting up to date RSVP notices and the "reminder" text to everyone.

Super easy and user friendly
December 27, 2019

This was for a 12th birthday party. Last minute, not planned limited time. We were able to to get the word out in time and with a personal touch from the guest of honor. The animation and graphics of the card are an added welcoming touch. The visibility options are great. Although, next time I will opt out of email notifications and stick with in-app notifications (if available).
I am, however, grateful that the invitees didn't not need to have an account to view the invitation. I think that is how we were able to receive such a great response rate, in short notice!
