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!
NOTES:
I have used Punchbowl for the past 6 years for my birthday
Invites. Hands down the best, most affordable prices and undeniably the most simple website to use for any celebration. I am a huge fan and will never look anywhere else to host my party invites. Thanks for keeping designs current and for simply continuing to be there for us through these difficult times. They are always striving to give the consumer the very best!
I wish you all the best throughout the holidays and thanks for adding that very special touch if class for my events!
I use this for Bible Study, Bunco, Gourd interest group meetings, and much more. People can say yes or no fast and send you a private message directly from the email. You can set up a reminder about the event and even a thank you after the event.
Once you've set up a group of people, you can copy the invitation and change the card or photo. No more typing in names to send an invitation.
I love including photos of the current Bible Study book and gourd projects. Their customer service is good too.
I was working on invitations and i filled everything out and it gave no indication that i would need to pay for anything, but, after i pressed send and worked on it for a really long time it said i would need to pay for the premium membership! Rude rude rude
I have used Punchbowl for several parties/events. Easy to use and helpful for keeping up with guests. Even a thank you option after your event. Updated since my last event with a text option. So helpful because I did not have everyone's email.
Punchbowl has some of the best invitations I've seen in an app. I love the layout and how simple it is to navigate and send out the invite. Also, it Helios to be able to keep track of the guest with such detail.
Every Christmas for the past few years, I have used Punchbowl to send out invitations for a dinner party. It is a reliable, consistent service with a great selection of invitations. I also use their greeting cards which also have a good selection and dependable delivery.
Thanks Punchbowl!
Using Punchbowl was super easy and very convenient. There were many different styles of invitations to choose from, and they all were very cute! It was so easy to create and use the app, and i really like the "remind" feature that sends a reminder for the event.
I have had such a great time for 3-4 organizations and my family creating cards and invites for our fun times. I find it easy and creative and have been able to enhance activities (Harry Potter trip for family, bingo party for friend's, birthday trip for 80-yr-old friends travel trip.) When I have an occasional problem, I contact Punchbowl and they kindly help.
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 easy to use and it made planning my event a breeze. I was very impressed by all of the cool features within the app and it kept everything streamlined during the planning process. Will definitely recommend!
I was searching other sites that provide the same service but was very limited with design choices and fonts. I found Punchbowl and they have so many nice designs and options for free but besides that the follow up and management of the invitee was very helpful, practical and made it easier to track my rsvp. Will highly recommend!
I had a birthday party for my daughter at Chuck E Cheese and the invitation was done by Punchbowl. The Punchbowl app was awesome! All I had to do was fill in the party information & select a background to send the invitations. Then my guests accepted or declined the invitation with a chart for me. I am looking forward to using Punchbowl app for all my parties & gatherings!
I love using Punchbowl for invitations, get-well and thank you cards. It is an easy way to send gift cards, too! My days are super busy and Punchbowl helps me take care of business in an easy and thoughtful way!
This program was so very simple to use, effective in that I could design exactly what the invitation said and there are plenty of templates to choose from. The cost was minimal to sign up for a year and I would highly recommend this to anyone. I had a fun night gathering with a chef to teach us how to make some appetizers. Just invited some friends that I needed to spend some time with... it was great event, great invites to confirm numbers and great followup thankyou for attending.
I keep getting charged and I didn't even sign up for a membership. What gives? And there is no phone number listed to talk to a real person. I would like to report this company to The Better Business Bureau.

Fantastic program and amazing designs! I mean, I love foxes and I have a fox/wood themed nursery. How high are the odds that I could find a fox themed invitation for my baby shower? Thank you, Punchbowl!
I planned an impromptu birthday celebration for my 10 year old. Thanks to Punchbowl, I was able to immediately send invites out, receive confirmations, and even send thank you' notes! All via my smartphone and email. Sooooo convenient!

Answer: Hi Kimberly - Can you tell us a little more about what you're trying to do? Are you trying to send an invitation? When you build a guest list and enter the individual recipient email addresses, they will not be able to see each other's contact information. They will be able to see who is invited (name only), but we give you the option to hide your guest list: https://help.punchbowl.com/article/98-how-do-i-show-or-hide-the-guest-list If you're sending to a group email address (a distribution list that goes to many people), this article will help: https://help.punchbowl.com/article/325-can-i-send-my-invitation-to-a-group-email-address If you're trying to do something else, please give us some more detail here or feel free to email us at help@punchbowl.com and we'd be happy to help!
Answer: Great question! The text on the invitation is the same for every guest. You can find more information about our customization options here: https://www.punchbowl.com/customization Please feel free to send an email to help@punchbowl.com if you have any questions. We're here to help!
Answer: Absolutely. They ask if you want to send yourself a Test card so you can see exactly what your invited guests will see. You can then make modifications if you choose. It's good to do this because the format that you input is slightly different than what they will see.
