Every great throw tells a story. For more than a decade, we have printed that story onto custom Mardi Gras beads for krewes, schools, sports teams, brands, and families across the United States. From the parade routes of the Gulf South to homecoming games in the Midwest and beach weddings on both coasts, a bead with your name, logo, or artwork on it does something a generic strand never will: it gets kept.
We print your design in full color on classic throws and medallions, so your krewe crest, team mascot, company logo, wedding date, or event hashtag rides around every neck in the crowd. No minimum-effort clip art, no faded one-color stamps. Real artwork, made to be worn and remembered.
A plain bead is trash by Tuesday. A custom bead with a face, a logo, or a date on it ends up hanging from a rearview mirror for years. That is free, rolling advertising and a keepsake in one, and it is why organizers come back to us season after season.
Browse our full custom Mardi Gras bead catalog, from full-color custom beads and LED light-up beads to popular Mardi Gras throws. New here? Learn more about our company and why our beads work.
Have a design in mind, or need help building one? Send us your artwork or ask for a proof, and we will get your custom Mardi Gras beads made and shipped. Contact us to start your order today.
The Krewe is built into Promotion Beads to help everyone enjoy the parade. We're committed to keeping the site usable for visitors with vision, hearing, motor, cognitive, and neurological differences.
We aim to meet WCAG 2.1 Level AA across the site. If you run into a barrier, please tell us — we'll address it.

"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

Purple, green, and gold, make it loud
Throw your hands up, Beadguy Nation!
We are the Beadguy Nation!
