Punchbowl is Great!

Punchbowl was great for my potluck dinner with friends. I was able to see who was attending and what they were bringing so that we could provide an appropriate main course. It couldn't be easier to use, and it was always up to date.

I love the Punchbowl invitations

I love the Punchbowl invitations. I own a Wine Tasting business where we host Wine tasting twice a month. I use Punchbowl to send invitations to my customers. They love it. I love it. It is convenient. It is a good way to keep track of who is coming and who is not coming it has really helped keeping thing organized.

THE BEST bar None !!

I don't have enough FABULOUS words to describe Punchbowl !! I accidentally paid for a year, but since I only do one party a year I did not need that length of time. I emailed them and they IMMEDIATELY credited my card and changed me to a monthly rate. NO waiting, no questions asked, just 100% attention to my request.
OHHH, lastly but NOT least, the cards and the ease to use their website is wonderful !!! The "Thank You" note you can send after the party is over is a beautiful touch.
Do NOT go anywhere else !!! Punchbowl is amazing !!!

Great experience

The app was easy to use. I loved that I could design my invitation on my laptop and had access to it on the app as well. It was easy to update, add and delete Attendees.

Easy and Useful.

I was blindly looking for invitations, RSVPs, etc. and came across Punchbowl. It was everything I needed and very inexpensive. I planned to keep it for a week or so but was pleasantly surprised how helpful and convenient it was, tracking my RSVPs. I loved it!!!!

Beers and dinner on a Wednesday

Arrived on a Wednesday evening, 14/01/26. A couple of beers and a reserved booth for dinner. The staff were exceptional, polite, helpful and working flat out. The pub was heaving which speaks volumes for its quality. In an era when service is going to ****, the Punchbowl is maintaining standards. Highly highly recommended. Hats off to the two guys behind the bar, and the young girl who served the rear booth.

This is the best online invitation service

I looked at several online invitation companies. Punchbowl was the easiest to use, gave you a preview before you paid, fair price, and offered directions to guests. It was easy to rsvp and I was was able to send out invites and check on guests from my phone. I will use Punchbowl in the future! Wonderful

Couldn’t be happier and love making someone smile when they get a card 💕

Have loved using punchbowl for all my events and for the cards I have sent these past few months of using it. So thankful for the amazing variety they offer and always adding new and seasonal cards. Paid for the yearly subscription and worth every penny, have thrown 4 events/ good to know who RSVP’s and send reminders and sent almost a 1,000 cards to friends and family from thinking of you, sympathy, congratulations to happy birthday. Their app makes for a quick set up and able to send quickly.

Punchbowl worked wonderfully!

Punchbowl worked wonderfully for me. I signed up for their service with the most options and a free introductory period because I’m not expecting be hosting another party. I cancelled when the free period was ending but they offered to extend the service and I accepted just because I didn’t want a glitch even though some of the basic services still work after cancelling. Guests remarked how nice the service was for them. I took advantage of sending a message about parking a few days before the event. So helpful! I cancelled in the end because I don’t have need for the service. Yet, it was so nice creating the custom invitation I wanted and worked so well overall that I considered returning to send cards throughout the year (which I haven’t done for decades). Their annual full service fee would quickly be very reasonable for those who send purchased cards with postage throughout the year especially including international. Thank you Punchbowl!

Stress free!!

Punchbowl makes it easy to gather friends and family to meaningful events without adding any stress! The ease of creating a guest list, managing RSVP's and sending reminders is all taken care of! The hardest part of using Punchbowl was choosing between all of their beautiful designs for invitations!!!!

Punchbowl is the Best!

I have been a huge fan of Punchbowl for a few years! It is so easy to use…even if you are in your eighties. There are many creative and interesting designs to choose from. I’m always able to find the perfect selection for all my events. Directions are clear . Many friends have been so impressed that they also have gotten on the Punchbowl bandwagon.

Punchbowl Is Great

Punchbowl is a wonderful site for sending unique invitations. I appreciate the options available, and the ease of creating a personal invite complete with envelope and RSVPs.
Also, I had questions and received timely and helpful responses.
