I love Punchbowl! I've used it for all of my kids' birthday
Party invitations. It is so easy to manage and communicate
With those you've invited. I love that I can email or text
Invites plus you can include a link within the invitation.
It's just so convenient. I will never send paper
Invitations.
I've been using Punchbowl for years to create my holiday party cups. I can personalize them and their online tool is easy and always comes out nicely. I do wish I could get 75 cups instead of just 50 or 100, but the quality and timing is always right on.
My experience with Punchbowl invitations was perfect. I would highly recommend them if you want to do email invitations. Their selection was wide and seem to fit almost any occasion. One week before the party, they sent out reminders to all who were invited. You won't be disappointed with Punchbowl.
I started my party planning with the invitation process first to get a head count on how many guest will attend. Punchbowl allowed me to manage my guess list and answer questions my guest have individually and privately. Great App very useful.
You spend hours designing and inputting email addresses for a supposedly free evite! What a joke! Then you get to the end of the process and the ONLY way to send out your evite without ugly pop up ads is to buy a membership for $30/month! Use must keep your membership in effect until your event so I would have paid a minimum of $90 for a 30 person bridal shower! Insanity! No ability to just pay a fair price per evite up front! A very unethical company!
I was amazed at how easy it was to create invitations. We sent them out a little late and loved the option to text them instead of email. I have also never sent thank you cards so quickly. (I waited 1 yr and 6 months after our
Wedding with postal mail). I will definitely keep using this service. Thank you so much!
Punchbowl is by far the easiest and most convenient e-vite platform I've ever used. It's perfect for beginners and experts alike. The designs they offer are amazing and there are so many to choose from. The features you get when sending out an invite are also crazy awesome. Really enjoy using this and would recommend to anyone looking for an e-vite service!
I truly enjoy the ease of use you find with Punchbowl when planning events. It has lots of design options and makes it easy to stay on top of ever event detail from who's coming, what they are bringing, and customize polls so you can ask fun questions and then review the poll results at your party.
The digital cards are fabulous too. It makes it easy to send a customize wish to family, friends and coworkers.
Thanks Punchbowl!
I have been using Punchbowl for two years now and have had nothing but a positive experience. I am an avid game night and dinner party host. I have the freedom to customize my invites based on the type of event I'm hosting. All recipients love receiving their invites and always comment on how creative they are. Punchbowl is my primary method of sending amazing birthday cards. At the beginning of the pandemic, I sent thinking of your cards which my friends and family loved. I enjoy the new templates Punchbowl has to offer and am looking forward to see how they expand in the future.
Punchbowl is an excellent way to coordinate your parties! It's super quick and easy, and they offer many different cards to choose from. Using Punchbowl helped to make our annual 4th of July part a huge hit and great success. I highly recommend using Punchbowl for any/all social events.
I usually send out store bought invitations. After using this app I will never do that again. A text message is so much more convenient. I also like how the invitation still "comes out of the envelope".
I used Punchbowl invitations for my grandson 4th birthday party. It was extremely easy, just picked a card linked it to my contacts and Viola... even sent reminders and thank you cards. Easiest part of the party.
I've been using Punchbowl for years and find it not only easy, flashy with lots of choices including uploading your own images, but it also a fine reporting and tracking tool. It has lots of great features like allowing people to message, do rsvp's and all sorts of stuff. I highly recommend this application for handling online invitations of all sorts.
There is lots of options to choose from, lots of different formats and it was awesome how I could put pictures on the invite. Was also nice to have a thank you card option as well. Much easier and less time-consuming than traditional invites. Recommend it to anyone wanting to save time.
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.

For 25 years I have had a Xmas Eve Party. Never has it been easier to reach out since I found Punchbowl. Never is anyone forgotten and they can be quickly added. So much more I could use the site for. Next year! 2020 is a New Year..
Love this program. I've used it on a few occasions and it's really useful to create, notify and track for your events. Everything is done for you and I like that the App will send our notification/reminders a few days before just in case folks forget. Love it!
I use Punchbowl annually for office Christmas planning. It offers a wide variety of designs and allow you to have your attendees bring guests. You get an accurate count of those attending as well as the ability to set a reminder to those who replied yes. Great tool.
We use Punchbowl for every larger gathering! They have so many options and the graphics are displayed so well. Tracking RSVP's and sending announcements is so easy. I also love that you can forward to a group and have people add their own emails if you don't already have them. I had to do this recently for a work party.

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.
