A 5 Star Punch
December 11, 2019

I love the selection of designs and the ease of creating my own invitation and then monitoring my guest responses.

Editing is a breeze and the response tracking element is super helpful.

Simply love Punchbowl invitations!

I have used Punchbowl for various invitations and announcements for years. The selection is amazing and personalizing events is super easy. I love the email and text option as well as the ease of seeing responses.

Meet and greet
October 25, 2019

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.

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.

Great choices
October 23, 2019

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.

I've been using Punchbowl for 3 years and can always find amazing invitations with the movie & book characters my daughter loves (Clifford, Dora, Toy Story 4)! It's so easy, connects with your contacts so you can send the invitation via text or email, see if they've viewed it, and even manage RSVPs. Love this app and will definitely continue using it :)

My wife and I used Punchbowl to create invitations to our sons graduation party - I expected that at the end of designing the invitation ( which did look nice) that I would be hit up to be charged to send the invitations ad free - fine, fair enough - however, I thought I was being charged $30 and instead was charged $83! Plus I can't log in to the account to check if anyone responded - I get a message that the email that my payment receipt was sent to is not a valid account. Say what? I tried calling and the answering machine says that only emails to *******@punchbowl.com will get a response. RIght. What century will I receive a response? And I read other posts who say that they can't cancel - they keep getting charged. What a mess. JUST. STAY. AWAY. I wish I'd found this site before I became a victim.

Hi Gerhardt! Thanks for reaching out. Our service is not a scam and at no point would we ever fraudulently charge a customer. Customers have the choice between two different subscription plans when purchasing a membership - a monthly option and an annual option. It sounds like you selected the annual option during checkout. The correct email address to reach our customer support team is help@punchbowl.com (not "helpme"). We have a wonderful team that always responds within 1 business day. We'd like to help you log into your account and can also help you cancel your membership if that's what you'd like to do.

Great experience!
December 26, 2019

I've used Punchbowl for numerous occasions and have been pleased every time. The options of card e-vites to choose from are great and the invitations are very easy to manage as far as customizing, sending, adding guests, sending reminders, etc. I would recommend!

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

I am so glad I used it!
January 28, 2020

I wanted to have a great invite for a business meeting. I honestly never used Punchbowl and more importantly, hadn't heard of it. I am SO glad I found it! It was user friendly, easy, seamless, and professional. I will always use moving forward!

Christmas party for volunteers
December 6, 2019

I really appreciate having the pretty Christmas invitations to send to volunteers of our Non-profit. Having free invitations to send electronically is wonderful--and works for us! I have used Punchbowl for these invitations at least 5 years, and it is very easy to use and helps me greatly. RSVP feature, and Potluck links are very helpful.

Reluctant review
March 16, 2023

Pre-Covid I used Punchbowl many times and was pleased. But post-Covid my CC and PW got into the hands of scammers. I received 4 fraudulent charges on my credit card. The scammers even had my password which was unique to Punchbowl. Check your CC statement! I don't know if they were hacked or were involved in the fraud but I will NEVER trust Punchbowl again.

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

Way easier than mailing Invites
February 13, 2020

Punchbowl was super easy to use and they had great designs. My guests thought it was super easy to use as well and enjoyed the convenience of having the invite on their phone. I also enjoyed the convenience of being able to use phone contacts that were on hand rather than having to go through and find addresses.

Beautiful cards.
December 17, 2019

Genius concept. I love these invites. Sadly, only females rsvp. The men invited Did not comprehend why or how to open the invites. I had to personally re invite all the men to my party.
They all showed up. Hopefully next party they understand to open the card / invite.

Best Evite SIte Ever!
September 24, 2020

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!

This invite not user friendly- could to cancel free trial. Wasn't worried, since they said it was only a few dollars a month. When I tried to cancel, my recorded password didn't work and I was locked out. Canceled after 2 weeks and they charged for a year. Unusable.

We'd like to clarify that we do not charge customers after they have canceled their membership. Customers have a 7-day trial period when they sign up for a membership. If a customer finds that they no longer want or need membership benefits, they have the opportunity to cancel within 7 days before their account is charged. We also have a 30-day money-back guarantee and are happy to offer a refund within that window.

Excellent resource to party invitations
September 24, 2020

Super easy to use, excellent features. Improvement suggestion: On the Announcements and on the address, have a option to enable the link for maps app. We can type the address manually on our maps app, but will be better if the users can just click on the link.
