Punchbowl

Punchbowl advertises you can send free ecards with no membership but that is completely false. After you've gone through all of the steps of choosing and creating your card, entering the recipient and your contact info THEN a pop-up appears "your card can't be sent without signing up" (after they get your info of course). This is deceiving and misleading customers so they can just get your information. Their statement on their own site says "Personalize and send beautiful invitations and greeting cards for FREE with Punchbowl®." NOTHING at all about needing a trial or subscription. Be honest and let customers know up front where it can easily be seen that they must sign up before wasting our time. I get enough junk mail and spam texts already. I know customer's contact information are sold to marketing companies without the customer's permission. Your competitors display their subscription notice yet Punchbowl hides it. That is wrong.

I needed to do online invites in a hurry. The site is easy to use, but you cannot activate unless you pay for a subscription. I attempted to use the subscription for a minimum amount, but it would not let me. I've cancelled the subscription now - but there is no refund for "unused time.'" Bummer. My fault really - but I wish there were more subscription options for a one time event.

(1) The ecards are boring and not very imaginative. (2) Compared to competitors, the cost of subscribing is high. (3) The subscription page deceptively displays the monthly breakdown of cost, but the only subscription term available is for a whole year. Cancelled online and going to try to get a refund within the 30-day trial period.

I thoroughly read the Help Q and As to find out how to block a sender. It says underneath the invitation it should say, "Don't want invitations from this host? Remove yourself." And that you can click on it. This does NOT exist so I can't remove myself!

Great invitation choices; easy to customize, very user-friendly site. I was very pleased with how well the entire processed worked, from designing, to sending, to replies, and reminders. Recommend highly, will use again.

I've been using Punchbowl for years for personal as well as professional purposes. Every time I send one I always get asked where, how did I do them. I explain that it is so easy to do.

I have a very good experience using this app! So helpful!

There's nothing special about this bar. They don't have a full bar as you would imagine. The food is basic and you pay the same amount if you were in a restaurant for the same money. Save your cash & go to the Northend

My wife and I have a party every year for our anniversary. The date is 26 December and just after Christmas, it is a great occasion for a celebration with friends. It has somehow become a tradition in our circle and everybody is looking forward to our celebration. Usually I take care of preparation and everything. However last year I had a really busy workflow, my wife did the same. However, we didn;t want to disappoint our friends, and also we wanted to keep it going, so we decided to ask for help from these guys. Their platform made the hardest part of the preparation go as smoothly as possible. Punchbowl delivers! Thanks!

Site was easy to navigate and I had a customized card up and running in minutes. Importing a list of contacts was easy

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 love how punchbowl can remind invitees before the event so I don't have to remember to do so. I also like how they can separate children from adults and respond as a family. It makes the headcount so much easier to tally.

This was easy to use and the tracking RSVP list of people was nice and convenient. It made our Christmas Party easy and less stress

Went to the website, found a nice card for my daughter, was willing to accept an ad in it, and I couldn't send it without joining. Worse, even if I was willing to pay for one month $4.99 as advertised, they would charge me for an entire year. Read about others experiences here--even if I could contest any charges after canceling on my cc, I decided that deception up front often indicates later deception and problems. Not worth trusting this company.

Punchbowl is great! We have been using it for events almost every year for over 10 years. It's user-friendly with ongoing updates on invitation themes. Its great for different age events so its a go-to for my family.

A really nice variety of e cards - lots to choose from, easy steps to put together an invitation for an event, even for a techno novice like me.

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,

Two years after I cancelled my subscription, they randomly charged me nearlt $60 and not in the month that would have been my renewal month. I emailed to get this corrected and they have said they will refund the money, but they also said in their response they have cancelled my subscription. Ya can't cancel something that doesn't exist. Wish I had never tried this company out. What a pain.

It was extremely easy for me to create and send out my invites. I was inform everytime I sent them out and when people did or didn't respond.

They say you can cancel your membership within 7 days and you won't be charged. So I went ahead with sending my daughter's birthday invite. When I tried to cancel, it said I would no longer be able to manage the rsvp's. So I'm forced to keep the subscription until her party, which means paying for an entire year's membership. What a scam. I will never use Punchbowl again and I hope this review is a warning to everyone else.

Easy, helpful, and great evite site. Punchbowl is the greatest, fantastic, and helpful evite site. I was happy with them, and I love their services. I recommend it to everyone.

Punchbowl has immediate response for people so inclined. It is a fabulous tool for Business Mixers, Appreciation Events or a simple party!

I'm not really sure why anyone would love this. I did the free trial and got charged (because I forgot, so that's my fault) $60 annual fee. I decided it would be fine since it had invitations and I could use it for other things. I cannot send out invitations without upgrading for EVEN MORE MONEY. What a joke. It's already digital, meaning it has no real material cost. $60 should be more than enough for what they're offering. I can't stand it. I would not recommend it to anyone.
