Punchbowl

You think that you will get a valuable service for free. What you actually get is lured into investing time and energy creating something of importance to you (an invitation to an event) which you find out, at the end, cannot be sent unless you allow tacky ads to be included in the card. The alternative? Pay Punchbowl $85 dollars -- an extortion fee, lest you loose the work you have done and have to start over with another provider. They could explain up front the terms of the agreement and let people decide for themselves if they want the product for the price. That is what an honest company would do.

I purchased a membership hoping for a month by month payment plan and did not realize I had signed up for an annual one. When asked to give feed back I mentioned that I was a disgruntled about paying for the full year when I intended to use it just for one occasion. The CEO quickly responded and refunded me the 11 months. I was not even asking for a refund but they gave me one anyway. This is the first time as a customer that an issue communicated in the feed back form was personally addressed by the CEO and so quickly, was very impressed.

I have used Punchbowl for years and always preferred it to evite. That said, I was baffled when they pulled the "scratch and sniff" stunt (where they claimed to have scratch and sniff digital invites). Obviously I didn't believe it, but I was more shocked that corporate would do something so lame to get publicity. Now, I have 2 party invitations that were already sent out and I want to add some guests. Suddenly paid memberships are required and I can't add my daughter's friend to her invite without paying. If you want to switch your business plan, that's fine. However, you don't pull a stunt like that with invites that are currently out. You have some morals and integrity and do it with new invites moving forward. Nice try with the employee team pictures and kid videos, but shark style bad business practices can't be masked with kid videos. Really lame punchbowl.

Very nice site for creating free online invitations and digital cards. We can also make personalized beautiful eCards by our own. I really liked some of their Thoughtful Gift Cards. Amazing themes and thoughtful texts. Satisfied with the service.

I have used Punchbowl for many years to send evites. No more than 1-2 evites a year. I just went in and completed an entire invitation, added emails, sent a test mail, etc. Only after all of that does it come up to tell you that only new members can send an evite for free. Loyal users now have to "subscribe" and pay. Granted, the least expensive option is only $0.99, however you just can't pay that. You have to join with a monthly subscription and then you have to remember to cancel. This stinks! I'm done with Punchbowl. There are too many free options out there without the hassle.

I was initially attracted to the website for their colorful and fresh card templates but after subscribing to a membership I saw that this additional fee was unnecessary. Luckily, I was connected with a customer service representative that was calm and thorough. She was able to arrange a refund and cancel my subscription. Hands down, this is the best customer assistance I've received in a long time, especially in a pandemic.

I used free trial for 7 days then I forgot to cancel it. I also thought if I forget I would be charged with only one month fee. However 8th day I saw that one year membership fee was taken from my credit card then I sent an email explaining the situation and to get a refund. They got back to me in an hour and send my refund at that time. Their support team was very fast and helpful.

Thank you,

I use this company every year for a large event. Their platform helps me make a nice e-invitation and manage the large guest list responses, communicate with guests etc. Their customer service is friendly and quick when asking questions, changing membership types and status etc. Punchbowl packs a punch in a GOOD way! Thank you!

I wanted to say thank you for creating this service. Your application enabled me to set myself apart from other applicants in my hiring pool. A few months ago, I began being interviewed by Microsoft for several opportunities. It took a few rounds to align me with the proper opportunity; but the distinguishing factor during each round was the fact that I would send a Punchbowl Thank You Card. With your help, I eventually won them over and was offered a role to come aboard a couple of months ago. I really want to say thank you!

The software is very user-friendly and allows for a lot of customization and flexibility. I found it a lot more cost competitive compared to Paperless Post (pay-per-invite with coins that you can purchase instead of a monthly or annual subscription); I did not check other software options out there. The thing that really made me come out and review them publicly is their customer service. I had accidentally signed up for annual instead of monthly, and I reached out to them explaining the situation, and they gladly changed my subscription and credited me back! It was so quick and easy, and they were so understanding and lovely!
