Who Orders Custom Throws
A classic strand becomes something people keep once the medallion carries a design that means something. Krewes, businesses, and hosts all reach for the same idea: put your own artwork on the throw everyone already loves to catch.
Start Your DesignThe difference between a stock strand and a custom one is what happens after the catch. A generic throw gets tossed in a bin. A strand that shows a krewe crest, a company logo, or a family photo gets worn, kept, and brought back out. Below are the three groups that order custom-printed throws most, each with a page that goes deeper.
Put your krewe emblem, colors, and the current year on the strand your riders throw all night, so the crowd knows exactly which float a great catch came from.
A recognizable logo on a familiar throw travels hand to hand at trade shows, grand openings, and festivals, and it keeps working because people actually wear it.
A photo, monogram, or date on a strand becomes a keepsake, not a giveaway, which is why weddings, reunions, and birthdays choose them over disposable favors.
Each group starts from artwork it already owns, whether that is a logo, a crest, or a photograph. That art goes onto a full-color decal medallion or a one-color imprint on a classic Mardi Gras strand, so the throw looks familiar while carrying something that belongs to one krewe, one company, or one event. The bead is fun and wearable, so people put it on instead of pocketing a flyer.
Custom throws are made to order in smaller quantities, and many can be produced in fourteen days or less, so you can size a run to a single float, a booth, or a guest list. When you know your artwork and count, options and current pricing are handled on the Mardi Gras throws category at PromotionBeads.
"Throw me something, mister!"
"Hey now, hey now..."
St. Charles Avenue, floats rolling by
Krewes on the boulevard, beads in the sky
Purple for justice, green for faith, gold for power
Fat Tuesday midnight to the Ash Wednesday hour
Masks on, feathers high, fleur-de-lis shine
Catch a doubloon, catch a strand, catch a moment in time
Hands up high when the trombone blows
Laissez les bons temps rouler, here we go!
Beads for everyone, beads for anyone
Throw your hands up, Beadguy Nation!
Purple, green, and gold, make it loud
Throw your hands up, Beadguy Nation!
(Hey now! Hey now! Hey now!)
Bourbon Street balcony, neon and brass
Flambeaux carriers marching past
Rex and the Zulu, the Muses take flight
Every parade is a brand new night
Medallion custom made, logo catching the light
LED blinking on a twenty-six-degree night
Hands up high when the trumpets sing
Laissez les bons temps rouler, we're the real thing!
Beads for everyone, beads for anyone
Throw your hands up, Beadguy Nation!
Purple, green, and gold, make it loud
Throw your hands up, Beadguy Nation!
(Hey now! Hey now! Hey now!)
From the Gulf to the Great Lakes, coast to coast
Carnival season is the one we love most
King cake on the table, baby in the slice
Throw 'em once, throw 'em twice, throw 'em thrice!
Throw me something! Throw me something!
Throw me something, mister! Hey!
Let the good times roll
Let the brass band go
Let the beads fly low
Let the whole town know
We are, Beadguy Nation
We are, Beadguy Nation
Beads for everyone, beads for anyone
Throw your hands up, Beadguy Nation!
Purple, green, and gold, make it loud
Throw your hands up, Beadguy Nation!
We are the Beadguy Nation!
We are the Beadguy Nation!
(Hey now! Hey now! Hey now!)
Laissez les bons temps rouler...
Beadguy Nation rolling on...
Throw me something, mister...
