I found the website easy to use and when I had questions I received a response very quickly. They offer wonderful customer service and I would definitely recommend them.
I have had many events and have used Punchbowl. It is a great tool to keep all detailed information in one spot. I love the no guess work it offers and it is fun for guests to open!
I initially wasn't thrilled with this service but their customer service and marketing teams followed up with me immediately and resolved my issues quickly and painlessly! Updating my review accordingly.
This is basically a very simple contact management software service with the sole purpose of sending invites and managing RSVPs. Unless you are hosting 6 or more events per year, this is a waste of $95. I am a little salty because I found the evite to be average at best and will never use this site again, mostly because I am disappointed at the price point for what I perceive to be little value.
I have been using Punchbowl for more than five years to plan birthdays and family celebrations. It is so easy to find old invitation guest lists and use them as templates for new invites. Just a few clicks and we are ready to go! Thanks
Our family is always on the go! So this is a fast and easy way to send out an invitation!
I've used Punchbowl for my son's birthday parties and other events over the past few years and the website is wonderful, the electronic cards and invitations are great but more than that, the customer service is spectacular! Help is there when you need it. Real humans with the knowledge and desire to help are quick to respond. I highly recommend Punchbowl.
Love using Punchbowl. It has made party planning such a breeze, when I can choose beautiful cards and invitations, keep a track of guests, have a record of past guest lists and send reminders and thank you notes post party. Love the convenience and ease of use.
I was not sure if I was going to have a party or not. At the last minute, I needed to get something quick and easy out to our friends and family with the party details. Punchbowl exceeded my expectations completely! The site is super easy to navigate and I loved that the invitations could be sent via text or email or both. I will defiantly be using Punchbowl again, instead of the mail. I could also see when the invitation was viewed by the person and the RSVP option was fantastic!
I love this app & the many complimentary options to choose from for invitations. It's an easy to use app with many nice features such as reminders for guests that RSVP'd "yes" and being able to text/message your guests individually. Maybe the next feature will be to group message everyone but none-the-less, the app has been wonderful. I've used it twice in the past 60 days for a 30th Birthday Party & a Baby Shower for 30 guests & love it! I was able to manage my RSVP's immediately. They offer adorable invitation theme choices! Thank you punchbowl!
I had a little problem sending the invitation to a few people. Then, everything was perfect
The best way to celebrate a social distancing parade using your platform for sending invitations and thank you e-cards. Well definitely use the platform for upcoming events.
I love this service and have recommended it to my friends
And the clubs I belong to.
I've used Punchbowl for our Corporate events four times. The site is very user friendly and the designs are great! Love that you can change colors and fonts. The most special touch is that on the front of the envelope we used our logo as the postage stamp, VERY COOL!
Punchbowl was Simple, Easy, Fast to use for my mom's Surprise virtual birthday celebration. I enjoyed the rsvp status updates and quick send outs.
Love the simplicity of the app and the variety! Loved the colors and the motives too! My daughter loved it! Thank you! Amazong idea of the virtual card!
I use Punchbowl monthly for my virtual bookclub and for holiday cards. The site is easy to use, has lots of beautiful designs and keeps a history so I can track my history. Great service.
I had never organized or planned a party, and I came across Punchbowl in a Google search. From day one, Punchbowl walked me through compiling a guest list, creating an invitation, sending out, and giving me many options to follow up and maintain list once sent. I was able to resend invitations to those who mistakenly deleted. Punchbowl advised me when phone numbers bounced so that I could get correct and resend. Punchbowl kept an accurate alphabetical account of the responses and sent out a two day reminder. They did the work at a reasonable cost. Thanks, Punchbowl
I have become a rabid fan of Punchbowl. I use them for all greeting cards and invitations. Their card assortment is vast, upscale, sophisticated and broad in subject matter. The offerings all exude a sense of Quality. Plus, the technical side makes it all so easy. Love the follow-ups and the option to send post-event thank yous. All around, the Best product and the Best value.
