Great and awesome for all your party needs! For me it's a no hassle of having to write each invite this does it all in 1!
Our son had his 10th birthday party at D&B. Adults and kids all had a blast playing games, eating food, and being together! The staff was friendly, helpful, and ready to serve! We were able to communicate through email every step of the way so all questions and concerns were answered. It was an easy process that everyone enjoyed. Than you for a great day!
Kept track of everything for me and was so easy and convenient to use. I planned a luncheon for fifty people and it literally was seamless.
It was great no writing invitations no counting guest everything done for you. I can add guest and communicate with my guest. I love making my own invitations. I cost is lower than invitation and stamps.
It was super easy to make the invitations. We got nothing but great feedback from all the invitees. I already had two friends sign up for their kids birthdays invites.
I was planning two events, one using evite and another using Punchbowl. Hands down, Punchbowl is easier to user, has more options and much more user-friendly! Would definitely use it to plan future events.
This app has a wide variety of beautiful cards and invitations. The app is user friendly and easy to manage all of your invitations, guest replies and follow up thank you cards. The app also automatically sends reminders to guests two days before the actual event which was so nice and worry free for me. I also really liked the features that allow you to customize certain settings which gives you control even though the app has everything under control so you can relax. The app also always two way contact with your guests where you or your guest can write messages back and fourth if needed or desired. Overall I love this app and look forward to continuing to use it for all upcoming events.
Punchbowl made the guest management process so easy! I particularly enjoyed the app. It was so easy to use. It allowed me to monitor the RSVPs and communicate party updates to my guests easily through the messages and announcements features. Guests were also able to communicate with me privately as well. I will definitely use Punchbowl for my next event.
The app was so easy to use and literally took me minutes to choose, edit and send my daughter's birthday invitation. I will definitely use it again for my next party.
I love using Punchbowl for invitations. The paper selection is always great. Even though the invitations are not free, it is still a great value for the money. When I need to do a group invite, it is so easy.
You were just free, but you didn't say that you were now charging a membership to use the free invites now, mwhen it was opened up and I created an invite. If you make changes, in the terms we first read, but you didn't flash an update or send us an email to say changes. Good luck to in the future, I don't use you enough to be restricted on paying one year at a time. If it was on s month by month differently. There are other sites the same. If I would use it often, I would subscribe. But, once or twice maybe a year. Sorry, to lose you.!
I'm very satisfied with how easy it is to make and send invites as well as thank you cards. My events were perfect due to the details available via the app.
No matter what the occasion, Punchbowl is my go-to to create the perfect evite for the event. I absolutely love how easy it is to create a first-class invitation that is monitored by the site. Absolutely LOVE it!
I have used Punchbowl for years and always preferred it to evite. That said, I was baffled when they pulled the "scratch and sniff" stunt (where they claimed to have scratch and sniff digital invites). Obviously I didn't believe it, but I was more shocked that corporate would do something so lame to get publicity. Now, I have 2 party invitations that were already sent out and I want to add some guests. Suddenly paid memberships are required and I can't add my daughter's friend to her invite without paying. If you want to switch your business plan, that's fine. However, you don't pull a stunt like that with invites that are currently out. You have some morals and integrity and do it with new invites moving forward. Nice try with the employee team pictures and kid videos, but shark style bad business practices can't be masked with kid videos. Really lame punchbowl.

I've used Punchbowl to send out many invitations to various types of parties utilizing the automated quest list that can be utilized on every invite without having to recreate it. I love the potluck accessory as well. As the host I like to provide a list of items to bring. Works fantastic!
I have been using Punchbowl for multiple years for many occasions and trust me, we select the theme, Punchbowl has the digital invite for it. A great inventory they have and its so easy to setup an invite and track acceptance. Punchbowl made job easy for you.
Thank you for building such a user friendly app.
See you again,
Sandeep
Great site! Easy to use! Lots of super cute designs! I will definitely be using this site for all of my future invitation needs!
PunchBowl is amazing! I'm going to recommend it to every single one of my momma friends! It's easy to set up, and it sends all invites to your contacts of your choice! Try it! You won't regret it!
The days of contacting people who haven't RSVP'D because they put their invite to the side and forgot about it are long gone with the Punchbowl app! You can make custom invitations send them out with 1 click and within a no time you can start planning your event as the responses are tracked and people respond as soon as they open the invitation. This is a convenience that anyone who has struggled in trying to organize an event without any idea of how many attendees they need to prepare for has been long overdue. It really leaves no room for excuses to not respond and cuts the stress in half. The future of event planning has arrived and I have nothing but good things to say about it and think you'll feel the same!
Just emailed this to punchbowl.com: "Your product is misleading and a complete fraud. Advertise something for free, client spends time creating then you hold their work captive without sending unless you pay? Forget it and I will tell all my friends. Bye."
So I'm telling you all - don't waste your time with this "free" service.
