Our little June Bug is turning ONE this month. I can hardly believe it. It seems like just yesterday that our 2 year old was hating my guts for bringing this little critter home. They're best buds now, well, almost.
When you have two little ones under 3, time is at a premium, so I needed an easy way to get my invitations prepared and sent out. I discovered
Punchbowl last year for my 2 year old's birthday party.
Punchbowl is an awesome party planning website that allows you to create invitations that can be emailed. You can also track your RSVP's, include a gift registry, plan a potluck and much more. It also has party theme ideas for many different types of parties. You can also grab a widget for your blog! Check out my Reasons to Celebrate widget on the right! Today is National Iced Tea Day...who knew???? Wonder if it's sweet tea? Mmmmm. And I digress...
Punchbowl offers a free service as well as upgraded Premium and Platinum services. I've used the free service and it's been great!
First, click "start planning a party". You choose how soon your event is, give a little info about your event and
Punchbowl selects some great options to get started. You can choose to send Save the Date's and have your guests choose from a number of dates or you can just send your invitation. There are many free invitations to choose from. We chose a beachball theme for our Backyard Beach Birthday Bash!
Then you just edit the text with your custom info and
Punchbowl does the rest! You get to choose your envelope liner, a cute little postage stamp and a rubber stamp on the front of your envelope.
Punchbowl is by far the easiest online party planning website that I have found and I plan on using it again and again and again...
