MyPunchbowl was designed for at-home events and parties, making it the perfect product for planning holidays, life milestone events, and the "big game." Considered the top at-home party event of the year, the National Football League’s Super Bowl will give more than 21.5 million consumers a reason to host a party, according to the National Retail Federation. MyPunchbowl spans every phase of at-home party planning, providing consumers with easy-to-use software in an innovative workflow interface. With simple tools, hosts and guests now have features to effortlessly plan and socialize before and after a party. Key features include:
* "Save the Date" functionality to inform guests early in the planning process
* Ability to create customized invitations to send to family and friends
* Personal photo upload and photo search from Yahoo Flickr.
* Easy import of email addresses via the Plaxo address book widget
* Stress-free RSVP to ensure a more personal interaction between host and guest
* A party message board to network and socialize before and after a party
* Numerous "after party" features to reminisce and share party memories
MyPunchbowl is built on the open source web framework Ruby on Rails with significant usage of AJAX (Asynchronous JavaScript and XML) technology. Together, these technologies provide party planners with tools that are unprecedented on the web.
"MyPunchbowl is an exciting new addition to the party industry," said Sal Perisano, CEO, iParty Corporation. "We’re eager to see how consumers respond to this new website."
As other new features and functionality become available, they will be added to www.mypunchbowl.com to enable users to pull together the various components necessary for an at-home party. A typical party requires the host to perform numerous disconnected tasks: pick a date, choose catering and entertainment, purchase party supplies, and rent party equipment... to name a few.
"We believe MyPunchbowl will offer vendors in the party industry a unique channel to reach consumers who are actively planning celebrations at home," said Matt Douglas, Founder, Punchbowl Software. "We will fill a market need to connect consumers and vendors in an efficient and cost-effective way."
