Indianapolis, IN -- (SBWIRE) -- 11/27/2015 -- According to BizJournals.com, the average company spent $142 per person for their holiday party in 2014, a ten percent increase over the previous year. They report companies are looking for unique ways to celebrate the season, with some hauling in artificial snow and others holding a cocktail competition class. For those businesses wishing to include the entire family in the celebration, Big Bounce Fun House Rentals (bigbouncefunhouserentals.com) can be of great help.

"Invite an authentic elf to join in the fun or have Santa Claus himself arrive to greet and mingle with the guests. Add to the fun by renting some camels, and make sure to include a rocking DJ to keep the night moving along. Some companies prefer to celebrate the birth of Jesus at this event, and Big Bounce Fun House now offers live nativities for companies choosing to make this the focal part of their celebration. It's all a matter of what a company thinks their employees would enjoy," Susan Lorimer, spokesperson for the rental company, explains.

SFGate.com reports holiday parties are critical for those companies wishing to retain talented employees being courted by competitors. Many staffers receive perks throughout the year, thus a company needs to make certain the year-end event is unique. One benefit that many overlook when it comes to the holiday party is the way it is viewed by the employees. A big bash is seen by others as a sign that the company's finances are in good shape.

"For adult only events, a casino night is a great way to bring employees together for some fun and friendly competition. Poker, Blackjack and Craps are three of many games a company may choose to offer at an event of this type, and there are more games to choose from. It's fun for an employee to beat their boss in a game of this type, and everyone is sure to have fun as they learn about hidden skills their co-workers may possess," Lorimer continues.

The report by SFGate.com goes on to say roughly 90 percent of companies across the nation planned to host a year-end or holiday event in 2014, with 20 percent stating they planned to pay more for the celebration than they did the previous year. This is a significant increase over 2011, when only 68 percent of companies hosted an event of this type. Companies planning an event of this type need to ensure it is one that will be remembered fondly for years to come.

"Some companies now opt to include the entire family in the year-end celebration. To keep the children entertained, consider having tattoos and face painting, movie screens set up in various locations and Santa Claus coming in for a visit. Those of every age will find something to enjoy at an event of this type, and employees appreciate having their family take part in their work life. Everyone wins in this situation," Lorimer announces.
