Every day Punchbowl users share feedback with us about their experience using the site, often for the first time. They send emails, post to our Facebook page, and tweet about us. We love hearing from our users and thought others might be interested in what they have to say about Punchbowl.

Today the spotlight is on Lori V. from Vancouver Island. Lori had heard about Punchbowl from a few teachers at the elementary school where she works. She thought it would be the perfect solution for planning her daughter’s wedding shower!

Of the utmost importance to Lori was the ability to keep her guest list and RSVPs organized and to receive responses from as many guests as possible. Not to mention, she wanted to make sure her daughter’s special day went off without a hitch.

Lori found Punchbowl to be “very easy to navigate” and also says it was fun and easy to “create a beautiful and professional looking invitation.” She loved finding out which guests viewed the invitation as well as when they viewed it. And, she appreciated the ability to send reminders to guests who did not respond in a timely fashion.

Ultimately, Lori’s guests thought the invitation was beautiful and they had fun making comments on the message board leading up to the shower. Most importantly, Lori’s daughter was “very impressed” that she used Punchbowl to plan the event.

Thanks for your feedback, Lori!

One of our partners got a new look this week! Celebrations.com relaunched their site with a whole new look that includes a new user friendly interface. Punchbowl partnered with Celebrations to introduce the Celebrations Party Planner last fall, which also has a new look as part of the relaunch.

Celebrations home page

To promote the relaunch of the site, Celebrations is running the “Celebrations New Look Sweepstakes.” Visit the sweepstakes page to enter to win one of more than 70 prizes, including gift cards to 1-800-FLOWERS.COM and SpaWeek, gift baskets from Fannie May and WineTasting.com, and much more!

We know what it’s like to get a brand new look! When MyPunchbowl became Punchbowl in September 2010, we got a whole new look that included new colors and a new logo.

Congrats to our friends at Celebrations and good luck to you on the sweepstakes!
