This website markets itself as being fee, then prompts you to pay a monthly fee. If you cancel the membership before the year is up they charge you the entire annual fee. Very misleading. Also I took a membership to be able to send invites for a work party, I'm assuming our firewalls don't allow it. I was charged for a year for a service that essentially useless to me. Do not recommend.

The best I found so far
November 1, 2020

Punchbowl is always my go to when I need something to send at the spur of the moment. I don't always have time to run to the store and purchase cards or invitations. One thing is for sure they are right there when you need them. You also save money because cards can be expensive. With Punchbowl I pay one fee each year and that's it.

FANTASTIC

Planned a shower and inexperienced in using technology - with Punchbowl it was soooooo easy to create the invite, send them out, tracking the RSVP's. Quite a time saver!

Quick & Easy
October 30, 2020

I was amazed at how easy it was to create invitations. We sent them out a little late and loved the option to text them instead of email. I have also never sent thank you cards so quickly. (I waited 1 yr and 6 months after our
Wedding with postal mail). I will definitely keep using this service. Thank you so much!

Great way to send an invitation
October 30, 2020

I sent out invitations for my niece's surprise birthday/graduation party. There was a great variety of invitation selections. Personalizing the invitation was easy, and the additional comments feature was very helpful. The animation of the envelope opening and the invitation coming out of the envelope was a really nice touch. I also liked the feature where I could send alerts of any changes to all the guests and send messages to individual guests. I sent the invitation via text messaging. I definitely plan to use Punchbowl if the future.

I use punchbowl a couple times a year, its perfect for sending a card when you forgot to buy one or having a party - you can see who opened the invite and keeps track of rsvp's. Its customizable, I love punchbowl- worth the money

Great App
October 29, 2020

I was excited to use Punchbowl to send invitations to my daughters birthday party. It was my first experience with the app and I really liked the option they give you on sending your invitations. I even sent one to myself just to see how it would look and I was pleased. They also give you the option after the event to send thank you cards. I really recommend it.

Easy peasy
October 29, 2020

This was my first time using an electronic invite. This was so user friendly that I required no assistance. The selection was plenty and nice. I would recommend even for the not so savvy electronics person. Will use again and definitely recommend.

Social Distancing Halloween Party
October 29, 2020

We were able to send out invitations virtually with a detailed description of the Halloween events on the card. All of the activities were outdoors spread out over a weekend. We unfortunately had to made adjustments on the second day due to rain. Punchbowl allowed us to send notifications easily and fast to notify our guests of the changes. We will definitely use them again and recommend them to our friends. Thank you.

Very user friendly, I was able to add guest to my invitations multiple times. I love the variety of invitations for free. This app provided me with feedback on each guest status. Very detailed and organized. I would definitely recommend trying this app before paying for expensive services.

Sip and See Boomer Style
October 29, 2020

I am the event planner for my small circle of friends. Everyone depends on me to pull everything and everyone together. Our friend, Dr. Jeff retired to Florida and I planned a party to honor his visit to Maryland. I used the Sip and See invite. Everyone loved it and the party!
