All Saints Day is approaching and in the Holy Heroes’ home, All Saints Day parties are always one of the most important celebrations of the year!
Here is our collection of All Saints Day inspiration to help you plan your celebration!
Costume Inspiration
Perhaps one of the best parts of preparing for an All Saints Day party is creating the costumes! This is a special day each year when kids get to celebrate their favorite Saints or Blesseds through costumes and props!
While there are so many very popular Saints to choose from, I recently found so many “new to me” Saints in the new Saints Around the World book. Since I have spent most of my life surrounded by the lives of saints (by both performing in and writing Glory Stories), I am usually underwhelmed by most Saint treasuries since I already know the majority of stories included. However, in Saints Around the World, there were many, many saints whose stories I had never heard before. I cannot recommend this book enough to Catholic families looking to expand their library of saints!
Get this treasury for your kids to page through prior to your upcoming All Saints Party. Perhaps they will uncover a new friend to dress up as and win the prize for the most “hard to guess” Saint!
Party Games
Creating a lineup of Saint-themed party games is another important part of All Saints Day parties!
Check out last year’s blog of ideas and check out our Pinterest board for ideas of what you can include in your upcoming party! You will find a mix of old favorites plus some more unique suggestions.
Prizes
Now that you have some ideas for games, the next step is game prizes! While candy is always a great outcome of any game, All Saints Day Parties are a great opportunity to provide kids with fun Catholic supplements!
Created due to popular demand, we have once more released our Saint Stickers 5-packs in time for All Saints Day parties! These sticker sheets are best-sellers every October as parents love to use these stickers are prizes. With 48 stickers per sheet, a single sheet can provide a small prize to many kids. Bulk discounts are also available if you would like to get a sticker sheet for each child as a party favor (more on that later)!
A great alternative to candy—stickers, prayer cards, and coloring books are awesome ways for kids to be awarded a prize without the aftermath of a sugar crash!
Party Favors
Depending on the ages of the children at your All Saints Day party, game prizes can be a bit difficult to manage, and instead, party favors handed out at the end of the event are a better option!
Here are a few ideas of things you can hand out to every child (without breaking the bank):
Our goal with the Blessed Carlo Acutis Coloring Book was to ensure that price would not be a barrier to people generously purchasing large numbers for distribution! Already, parishes and schools have taken advantage of our large quantity discounts so every child in their community to learn Blessed Carlo’s story! In addition to his story, children will also learn Blessed Carlo’s eight steps (that he practiced in his life) to help them become saints!
If you have questions about the quantity discount or shipping costs, please send an email to customerservice@holyheroes.com and we will see if we can work with your budget!
There are many other coloring books (with quantity discounts) that would make great party favors, including Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton, Saint Faustina, and Blessed Imelda!
Another great option for Party Favors is to give each family a CD! We have two sets of 10-packs for a large discounted price including our Glory Story Vol. 1 and Glory Story Vol. 8!
I hope that this inspires you to get started with your All Saints Day Party planning! Drop any suggestions you have in the comments!
