SmileBox

DO NOT use this company. I tried to create a collage for my family. The collages did not open correctly on cell phones: pictures moved and the text moved out of the text box. Also, the message I added on the bottom did not get delivered. Additionally, they make you take a years subscription, before you realize what a lousy product it is.

Smilebox may seem like an attractive option to send elaborate cards to loved ones, particularly during a pandemic. However, their site is misleading, as they emphasize only their monthly rate, which makes it seem like you can pay for only a month to try it. I figured I would be able to confirm this during the purchasing process, but no. Instead of a final "here's what you're buying screen" to confirm, all-of-a-sudden they had charged my card for a full year. They refuse to refund money and take several days to respond to support inquiries. They simply offer extensions of their service to try to passify irate customers, which are next to worthless, since we don't want the service anyway. This is not a great company and will likely not be around long. Even if the service you get is OK - which I'm not certain that it is - you should know that you're paying for an entire year of a service you can't even test out. I would not recommend them at all.

Go Pro button is located in edit mode right next to save button. 1 accidental click will get you charged $139.99. They wont refund your money. They do not ask you to confirm. And the button sits like an editing button. Beware. 1 click. No refund, no confirmation of request.

I have used smilebox and paid the premium for several years and recently realized on some of my older slideshows the music had been removed and a most annoying instrumental had been added. I asked them why and it took 2 days to respond that because they were older they didn't have access to the music! Now I'm wondering if I cancel if all of my creations will be gone and I don't have access anymore. 48.00 is pretty steep for so few options and then they take your music off. I'm so disappointed.

Ease of use and simplicity at your fingertips that actually makes this little beauty GREAT! Even the hardest looking creations are simple and easy with all the tools you need at your fingertips. There are no complicated steps to go through to make creations just a step by step simple interface. I give this 10 thumbs up!

Very cute, creative, and inexpensive invitations! Some even with music and animation! People loved the invitations I sent via smile box. Easy to keep track of guests as well. Will use again for other events!

I have been using Smilebox.com for several years now. Not only do I use it for personal cards, invitations but I have rolled this out within my portfolio as a Regional Director in Property Management. Smilebox is extremely high quality, numerous designs to choose from and really presents very well. Love the music also that you can choose from or either download your own. Truly, the BEST for printing custom cards / invitations or simply to send out via email.

Wonderful way to congratulate, show you care, no more worries about whether the card will reach destination in time; it would be a great asset with business contacts for invites etc., it is personalized with your own photo's, backgrounds supplied suit all occasions. All in all a very handy and reasonably priced tool.

Excellent features, but very pricey. Unfortunately, they only offer subscription rates, and no fee-per-item options. I only send invitations 1 or 2 per year, so a subscription (at these rates) make no sense. The free trial was fun, but not interested in signing up with this fee structure.

I love the idea of creating and printing my own invitations for just a small fee, and I can create and print the same day - great for last-minute needs. However, I've created two separate invitations to print myself, and both of them had the colors just a little "off." When you use more than one color, they don't exactly match up with each other on the design. I initially thought it was my printer, but the download, as well as the screen version, both had the colors not lining up correctly, and it didn't matter if you printed directly from the site or downloaded the JPG. It's not THAT noticeable, but a little extra attention to detail would be nice.
