Punchbowl Software, the developers of MyPunchbowl.com, today announced the launch of a brand-new version of their popular event and party planning website just in time for holiday party planning.

MyPunchbowl.com is an event and party planning website which launched in early 2007. MyPunchbowl offers a modern, user-friendly interface that adapts to the party planning needs of the host. Unique features such as "Pick a Date" and "Party Checklist" along with online invitations help hosts with coordination and logistics during every stage of party planning. The site can be used to plan holiday parties, life milestone events, as well as adult and kids birthday parties.

For holiday party planning, MyPunchbowl offers hosts specific benefits. To coordinate the best date during this busy time of year, hosts can use the innovative "Pick a Date" feature to gather guest input and automate date selection.

In addition, the site features numerous party themes that help set the tone for a holiday celebration.
