I used this app for my daughter's 1st birthday, and I was really happy with the way the invites turned out! There are a lot of cute FREE options. I liked that the invite was texted out, since I don't know everyone's email addresses. The app was easy to use, and I found it very helpful that it kept track of everyone's RSVP status. I highly recommend!
It saves time and stamps. Also no one saves a card and then remember a date. With this app there is an automated reminder. I was able to get an answer right away to get ready with the number of guest. Best of all there are a variety of free cards to choose from.
I have been using Punchbowl invites for my events for a few years now. I love the creative designs that are offered. The site is easy to use. It offers reminders, keeps track of RSVPs and makes it easy to add more guests.
I have used Punchbowl for several years to plan my daughter's birthday parties. I love it! It is so easy to use. The invitations are bright and colourful and every theme you could imagine! Since I have used them before, I can save the contact details so it is easy to click on the guests who I invite every year without having to enter their contact details each time. I like how I can see who has viewed the invitation and immediately see who has RSVPed. I can even send out messages on what guest should bring with them! I can also send out an automatic reminder two days before each party. You can follow up by uploading pictures of the party or send thank you cards for attending. I highly recommend Punchbowl for all your parties... from birthdays to backyard movie nights! I just downloaded the App and it was easy and convenient to use. I would give them 5 stars!
Today is Mother's Day. I really want to send my mom an ecard to show her some love and care during this social distancing and I can't, this system don't let me. I pay almost $50.00 the fist time and I can't use it.
Every year I use Punchbowl for my most trusted family tradition and it doesn't let me down. The ease of use for me and my guests makes the process so smooth. Love being able to send announcements through the app too!
Not only is this service free, there is a great selection of invitations to choose from. Being able to personalize them and add pictures of your choice is a plus. They also save your invite list and gives you an option to receive RSVP's and feedback from your guests. I would recommend this service to all my friends and family.
Punchbowl is EASY and so accessible. It was fun to still get to choose a fun character design for the invite! It also kept track of who opened the invite, who could come and allowed me to send group messages to everyone who was attending. There was also an easy pot-luck sign up! I will use this for every event!
I have used Punchbowl for party invites and they send me a reminder every year which is great during the holiday season. Their selection of invites is great and tracking of replies makes it easy for a headcount! Would highly recommend.
Punchbowl was great - from the initial invite to the thank yous. They had the exact invite I wanted. Sending and monitoring the invites and responses was super simple through their site. I was very happy with using them and will do so for any future invitations I may need.
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!
This was my first time using an official RSVP service. I thought it was very easy to use, and I loved being able to export my guest list as an excel sheet. That was extremely helpful for organizing and distributing. My only negative is not understanding the $7.99/mo being an annual fee. I may have hastily signed up or it may not have been super clear. I only wanted it for a month and it was extremely easy to reach out and ask for a refund for the other 11 months which I didn't plan to use it. I would certainly use them again.
I used Punchbowl to send out and manage invitations to the annual Christmas Dinner for my high school girlfriends. We are in our 60's. Several of them told me how impressed they were with the invitations I sent out--one is even using Punchbowl for her family Christmas get-to-gether due to my invitations. These invitations looked great, and in addition I was able to see who was coming and what they planned to bring--all thru the invitation process. I plan to use Punchbowl again!
A delightful experience with Punchbowl! The Party was a success and I especially enjoyed that Punchbowl offered to send "thanks for coming" cards the next day to all who attended. I will definitely use them again and plan on referring them to my friends! Thanks; Punchbowl!
After spending a week setting up the invitations and being promised "free online invitations", we go to complete the process and send our invitations, only to get hit with a paywall. Our "free online invitations" ended up being "free for 7 days", then you have to pay. Classic bait and switch if you ask me! Nowhere during the whole process was a fee or payment ever disclosed until the very end.
Believe me, we are definitely canceling after we receive all of our RSVP's, but I have a feeling it's going to be difficult. The best, is by default, they try to sign you up for a yearly plan instead of a monthly plan (they do this by manipulating the price, the yearly is less per month, and by classic making it the first option), so it seems like they trick people into signing up for more then they need. Here's an idea Punchbowl, don't be deceitful and people would actually value the product you offer!

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.

It is important for our organization to have an accurate account for our monthly luncheons. The information provided by the RSVP gives me a daily report on who has read the invitation, guests and who is not coming. The invitation itself is the best I have seen and very professional with a lot of variety.
I used Punchbowl to make invitations for my sister's surprise party and it was amazing! Quick to find what I needed, simple to navigate with awesome samples to guide you around the site and super easy to set up and send! What I really loved was that Punchbowl sent a reminder to everyone about the party a few days before AND I received an email about sending everyone a thank you note the day after(which I did!). I even got an email letting me know when the person saw the thank you note and showed me the replies as well! I can't thank you guys enough for such a wonderful website! I recommend it to everyone! The party guests were very impressed by it too and are already planning on using Punchbowl as well for their future events! Thanks again! :)
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 :)
... and Punchbowl is the best!
