Punchbowl
Reviews and Complaints

Coming across Punchbowl was a happy accident! I was planning my annual Ugly Sweater Christmas party with the largest guest list I've ever had (30 people). Trying to gather everyone's address, mailing, etc was ridiculous in today's digital age! With Punchbowl, all I needed was their phone number and everything from beginning to end was taken care of from there! There's a way to track your RSVP's to get a good head count, people can log their potluck items for others to see, you are able to send out reminder messages - all in one place! You can even send a thank you card at the end! (Really made me look good too!) This is truly the only way to go when hosting events! I'll definitely be using Punchbowl again!

The days of contacting people who haven't RSVP'D because they put their invite to the side and forgot about it are long gone with the Punchbowl app! You can make custom invitations send them out with 1 click and within a no time you can start planning your event as the responses are tracked and people respond as soon as they open the invitation. This is a convenience that anyone who has struggled in trying to organize an event without any idea of how many attendees they need to prepare for has been long overdue. It really leaves no room for excuses to not respond and cuts the stress in half. The future of event planning has arrived and I have nothing but good things to say about it and think you'll feel the same!

I used Punchbowl to make invitations for my sister's surprise party and it was amazing! Quick to find what I needed, simple to navigate with awesome samples to guide you around the site and super easy to set up and send! What I really loved was that Punchbowl sent a reminder to everyone about the party a few days before AND I received an email about sending everyone a thank you note the day after(which I did!). I even got an email letting me know when the person saw the thank you note and showed me the replies as well! I can't thank you guys enough for such a wonderful website! I recommend it to everyone! The party guests were very impressed by it too and are already planning on using Punchbowl as well for their future events! Thanks again! :)

I needed to plan a zoom baby shower and needed a way to send invites that weren't just the standard, boring email. I found Punchbowl and for a super cheap, monthly subscription fee they made it super easy and really fun to pick and customize my baby shower e-vites. Then all I had to do was enter recipient emails and then send them. It's very intuitive and user friendly. I got responses when the recipients rsvp'd and I was also able to send add'l comments/info to them along the way. I could access my party both online and through their app. Recipients also got an automatic reminder two days before the party. Right after the party Punchbowl sent me an email giving me the option to send out thank you's! I was able customize a cute e-thank you card and send those out. I will totally use Punchbowl again in the future!

I have used Punchbowl for several years to plan my daughter's birthday parties. I love it! It is so easy to use. The invitations are bright and colourful and every theme you could imagine! Since I have used them before, I can save the contact details so it is easy to click on the guests who I invite every year without having to enter their contact details each time. I like how I can see who has viewed the invitation and immediately see who has RSVPed. I can even send out messages on what guest should bring with them! I can also send out an automatic reminder two days before each party. You can follow up by uploading pictures of the party or send thank you cards for attending. I highly recommend Punchbowl for all your parties... from birthdays to backyard movie nights! I just downloaded the App and it was easy and convenient to use. I would give them 5 stars!

I had a pretty bad experience with Punchbowl. I signed up for the free trial and wanted to explore all their e-card options, but unfortunately, I missed the cancellation deadline. I was charged $80+ for a subscription I couldn't use, and I was in no position to afford it. To add to my troubles, I was going through tough times - my young child was in a wheelchair with a broken foot, and I had severe financial and personal issues to deal with.

When I reached out to Punchbowl for a refund, I was disappointed by their response. I requested a partial refund, but they said it was not possible. They informed me that there was a 30-day window where I could have requested a refund. But the catch was - I had canceled my subscription immediately after the charge, and nothing in their terms had said anything about the 30-day refund window. I read all of that carefully, and it was not mentioned anywhere.

My emotions were running high, and I felt cheated. Who in their right mind would pay $80+ for an e-card? It felt like I was robbed. I could not comprehend how a company would charge its customers who only used them once, and that too unwillingly, and then deny their request for a refund.

In conclusion, I cannot recommend Punchbowl. They are not worth giving your business to, and their poor customer service and policies make them a company to stay away from.

For those who are considering punchbowl.com to send their ecards, let me share my experience. First and foremost, the annual membership fee for the lowest level is $35.88, which might seem reasonable. However, please take note that this level only allows sending a mere 10 cards per month. Frankly, it is not a big deal because the selection of cards available is very limited. Trust me, it will be a big challenge to find even 10 acceptable cards to send.

After browsing through the not-so-wide array of cards, I finally found one that suits my needs. The next step is to customize the card and add a little personal touch to it. Though the customization options are not terrible, they offer a glimmer of hope to an otherwise dismal experience. Sadly, that hope was short-lived. I finished adding my personal touches and felt quite pleased with the outcome. But lo and behold, when I tried to schedule the card for sending at a later date, I realized that this feature is only available if I upgrade my membership to the next level. And, of course, the cost of that upgrade is another $12. Honestly, I felt a bit ripped off at that point.

All in all, punchbowl.com did not meet my expectations. It was not worth my money - not even a penny of it. There are other ecard websites available that offer better quality at a lower price. It's not just that the card selection is bad and the customization options are subpar, but even the signup process is quite misleading. Be careful when signing up, as it can be quite confusing and misleading.

So, to sum it up, I don’t recommend trying out punchbowl.com. Save yourself the hassle and choose another website that offers better quality services.

So I was making my card on Punchbowl, thinking I'll show everyone how it's done. I carefully picked out the design, the font, and even added my own personal touch. Just when I was about to hit send, it asked me to make an account. I did it, cause you know, I'm a good sport.

But then, to my surprise, my card was nowhere to be found. All that work for nothing. I mean, come on, Punchbowl, couldn't you have saved my card before asking me to make an account? That's just plain mean.

So, like any other determined individual, I went back to the start and recreated my masterpiece. Finally, I was ready to send it out to my friends and family. But then, it asked me to start their free trial or buy a subscription package. I don't know about you, but I'm not a fan of surprises, especially when it comes to money.

I did a little digging and found out that even some of their subscription packages don't remove advertising. I mean, isn't that the whole point of paying for something? To get rid of the annoying ads? And to make matters worse, Punchbowl requires you to make an account to use their services. What's up with that, Punchbowl?

Overall, I'm giving Punchbowl two stars because their site was designed well. But the whole account and subscription thing just rubs me the wrong way. It's like they want you to pay for the privilege of being annoyed by their ads. Well, I'm not falling for it again. Maybe I'll just use tempmail next time.

I gotta say, I had a bad experience with Punchbowl the other day. I was looking for a way to send out some sweet birthday invites for my little girl's upcoming party and thought "hey, why not use one of them fancy online invitation sites?" It seemed like the perfect solution - easy, cheap, and convenient. But boy was I wrong!

After signing up for what I thought was a one-time deal, they went and charged me a whopping $98.55! I couldn't believe it! I never signed up for an annual membership or anything like that - I'm just a regular mom trying to throw a party for my kid. Why do I need some fancy subscription service?

To make matters worse, when I contacted customer service to complain, they basically just told me "tough luck." They said it was my responsibility to cancel the membership, even though I never even knew I had one in the first place! It's like they're trying to trick you into paying more money so they can make a quick buck at your expense.

Needless to say, I won't be using Punchbowl again anytime soon. And I'll be sure to tell all my mommy friends about my terrible experience. Don't waste your time or money on this shady company, folks!

So me and my better half used Punchbowl to make some invites for our son's graduation party - gotta say, the designs did turn out pretty good! But listen to this - I was expecting to get hit with a charge to send the invites without ads, which I'm cool with, you know - but boy was I surprised when they ended up charging me $83 instead of the $30 I was expecting! And to make matters worse, I can't even log back in to my account to see if anyone RSVP'd to the party. Every time I try, it says the email the payment receipt was sent to ain't even a real account. Huh?! I tried calling customer support too, but all I got was some voicemail saying I gotta email them at ***@punchbowl.com if I want any help. Like, seriously? When am I gonna hear back from them, in 100 years? And what's more, I seen other people online saying they can't even cancel their subscriptions and they keep getting charged over and over again. What a headache, man. Do yourself a solid and just steer clear of this mess. I sure wish I had found some reviews before I went and got myself scammed by these guys.

You know what's a total bummer? Punchbowl. I was looking for a way to send invites for a party I was throwing and came across their site. They advertise that you can make and send free invites the whole way through. And let me tell you, I put some real time and effort into my invites. I was proud of them, you know?

But then, out of nowhere, Punchbowl hits me with a surprise fee. Seriously, it's like they were hiding in the bushes waiting to jump out and demand all my change. I couldn't believe it. If they were confident in their product, they'd tell you upfront that there's a charge. It's just common decency.

I mean, could you imagine going to a restaurant and ordering something, only to be told there's an extra charge after you've already eaten? That's just not how things work.

Punchbowl needs to get their act together. It's just wrong to mislead people like that. I hope they change their ways soon.

It's been a real struggle trying to create my wedding invitations on Punchbowl for the last few days. I even had to become a member just to do so! Every time I fill out the first part of the invite and press continue, the page takes forever to load. I'm talking minutes here, people. And it never gets past that part! This app is a total joke, a scam, and it's just wasting your precious time and money. I chose to use this app because most of my guests and family live out of state, but I regret it so much now. I'm absolutely disgusted with this app. I could have gone to the store, made invitations, and sent them out in the time I've wasted with this piece of garbage! I absolutely do NOT recommend this app to anyone. They take your money and don't even deliver on what they promise. It's all just a bunch of BS, if you ask me! Honestly, if I could give this app less than one star, I would. Period!

Listen here, folks. I have had the unfortunate experience of dealing with Punchbowl and let me tell you, it was not pleasant. These guys are some real slicksters, trying to swindle innocent people out of their money. I'm warning you, DO NOT BUY OR TRY anything from them.

I repeat, DO NOT BUY OR TRY anything from Punchbowl. They will only take your hard-earned money and leave you feeling scammed and disappointed. They don't care about you or your events, they only care about getting rich off of unsuspecting customers.

I can't stress this enough, do not trust Punchbowl. They are scammers and will only bring trouble to your life. There are other, more trustworthy sites out there that will provide you with the services you need without trying to rip you off.

Avoid the headaches and heartaches and stay away from Punchbowl. Their shady tactics and lack of customer support will leave you angry and frustrated. Trust me, you are better off looking elsewhere for your party planning needs.

Don't say I didn't warn you. Steer clear of Punchbowl and save yourself the trouble.

I gotta say, I was pretty let down by my experience with Punchbowl. I sent them a message a couple days back to let them know that I was having a bit of an issue with my invitee list - it just wasn't showing up properly, and kept getting stuck on the "Loading" screen.

Now, I did get a reply back pretty quick, but honestly, it wasn't too helpful. They told me that IT would look at it "soon," and offered a couple of little fixes that wouldn't really do much to help me out. And I gotta say, 48 hours later, I'm still stuck with the same issue. I've been trying to get in touch with their customer service team, but still no response to any of my emails, or even the message I sent them on Facebook.

I mean, if I can't even see who I've invited to something when I need to, what's the point of even using this app? I'm hoping that posting my thoughts here might get their attention a little bit and they'll actually do something to fix the problem - I mean, they're supposed to be a tech company, right? Otherwise, I'm paying for something that's just not delivering.

Honestly, I'm pretty bummed out here. I'm really hoping that Punchbowl gets back to me soon so we can get this issue sorted and I can actually start using this app the way it's meant to be used.

I been usin' Punchbowl for time now, and I like it better than evite. But let me tell ya, when they said they had "scratch and sniff" digital invites, I was like - nah, that's too wild. Ain't no way. But then I was more taken aback that these big bosses would pull somethin' so lame just to get people chitchattin' about 'em. You ain't gotta do that, you know.

Anyways, I now got two party invites that I gotta add more people to, but naw, they say I gotta pay for that service now. What's up with that? Why you gotta make people pay for something they used to get for free? I don't like that one bit. I understand you gotta make money, but don't pull that kinda stunt with invites that already went out. That ain't cool.

I know you tryna make it up with them employee team pics and goofy kid videos, but that ain't gonna make it right. You gotta have some principles and morals when it comes to doin' business, 'cause we ain't gonna be fooled by a cute video.

All in all, you got some work to do, Punchbowl. Get back on track and don't forget about the customers who been with you since day one. We ain't gonna be happy if you keep pullin' stunts like that scratch and sniff mess. Step up your game, Punchbowl.
