Punchbowl

We have a 157 member list. It gets "most", but not all of them. Sometimes it says members are Unsubscribed when they're not. Sometimes it says it went to certain people and it didn't. Punchbowl Support says we did it, but don't see it that way.

So, it's easy to use, looks great, is a good value, and "pretty good" at getting the message distributed.

I don't remember how I found Punchbowl in the first place, but boy am I glad I did! It's super easy to use, you can control whether your invitation can be shared or not, it automatically sends out a reminder,… you basically have a personal assistant, I love it!

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!

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.

The advertisement is a bait and switch. Says it's a 7-day free trial, they charged my account $48. I requested a refund, as it stated, no questions asks. Conveniently, they cannot find my transaction. They want me to send them a screenshot of my account. Who does that? With all of the scams and hackers, that's not going to happen. I will be contacting my bank.

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 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!

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,

Punch bowl advertises as free, but they do not tell you that you need to pay a subscription. If you do the free trial, you can cancel, but you can't manage the invite that you just sent out. Which is the whole purpose of an Evite. So disappointed in the lack of transparency of the website and it taking advantage of users.
