[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Of course we do. Unless it is something right after work by the office or at lunch why not a plus one.

My holiday party is at a fancy hotel, suits, dinner open bar, dancing, gift baskets. on a Saturday night usually around 8pm

Kinda weird not to invite a guest [/quote]

That's more than a holiday dinner.  That's a full night out lavish party night out.   Holiday work dinner for me is a 5:30 pm dinner at a restaurant near the office, no spouses.  Everyone leaves by 7:30 pm.   [/quote]

How does that show appreciation to the actual people who make it all happen? My old firm sent gift baskets, Omaha steaks, gift cards etc. each year to the spouses directly. They are ones who cover while we work late. Men or women Spouses were inviged to Holiday party. Female spouses got Flowers when they gave birth. At Holiday party we even one year sent Limos to pick up and drop off spouses. Another company at offsites whole family invited, we had family picnics, take you take your kids to work day, family baseball outings, even one place a family holiday party bring the kids.

The workers get paychecks. The family and kids are one who work unpaid. Heck we let Moms and Dads come and one year a 24 year old single girl we recognized her friend who came who watches her dog on business trips and when she works late. We invited her to party and sent her a gift basket.
