Quick & easy to use... and best of all, it is FREE. Great to be able to manage your invitations and keep track of guest responses, as well as sending reminders.
Love punchbowl! A lot of themes and choices. Very easy to use. Sends reminder emails/texts. Makes people think that you put a lot of time and effort into this but in reality it only took a couple minutes to set everything up. Its great.
Absolutely loved the ease of using this site, and selections of invitation templates. Very easy to manage the number of RSVPs, and to maintain communication with guests. Definitely recommend, and I'll definitely use again for future events.
Punchbowl is the only free e-card and e-vite website I know of and it has a huge variety of beautiful designs for every occasion. It truly makes organosing my events a fun and pleasurable experience.
I've used Punchbowl for numerous occasions and have been pleased every time. The options of card e-vites to choose from are great and the invitations are very easy to manage as far as customizing, sending, adding guests, sending reminders, etc. I would recommend!
I've used another site for years and have recently started having issues where not everyone receives the invite. Your site has many additional options. I host a dinner group every Friday night for local friends at a different restaurant each week. Looking forward to becoming more familiar with your site.
This is, hands down the easiest app for sending invitations. There were so many beautiful designs to choose from and I was amazed by how simple it was. I love how they send you an email reminder for thank you cards after your event. This app makes me want to plan a party just to send the beautiful invitation:-)
This was my first use of digital invitations, and it was much easier than I expected. There's a great range of free designs and developing and sending the invites was intuitive and quick. I especially liked how easy it is to import email addresses from gmail and outlook.
Punchbowl is an awesome way of sending invites. You can manage the online invitation so easily! We use them every event we have! Thanks punchbowl!
It's super easy to use punchbowl. Very user friendly. I love the various options plus the freedom to play around with the text and style. I love it!
I sent out punchbowl invitations for a holiday event!
It was user friendly - sent me reminders and updates (not too many) and kept track of all the details.
Definitely will use PunchBowl again!
So easy to use, it helps me keep track of who's invited and who's coming and even what food they are bringing! And Free! What could be better? Super site with so many options to pick from!
I've used another--costly--evite site and found this one to be equal to or better! It's easy to use and gives detailed results with the ability to resend to recipients who have not responded. It also tells you when the evite was viewed. The subtle "reminder" a few days prior to the event was also much appreciated. And, to top it off, it is FREE!
I loved the template choices and it was very easy to send out the announcements to everyone!
Since i am not great using computer programming to create invitations I was so happy to discover Punchbowl. The setup was easy and completed the task in very little time
Ever since I came across a site for all types of cards, called PUNCHBOWL, I have been so delighted with the variety and numerous options I can't tell you! Who gives us free anything these days? Whomever is operating this site deserves a medal. The site is easy to navigate, a lot of the cards are free and the choices are tremendous for every occasion and holiday. I have used this site for over 2 years now and never, ever been disappointed. It just gets better and better. Thank you.
Awesome website for planning parties and sending invites! Definitely recommended.
