Beads for the Whole Carnival Season, Not Just One Parade
Carnival runs from Epiphany in early January to Fat Tuesday, and every weekend in between fills with parades, king cake parties, and krewe balls. Custom beads let a krewe, a bar, or a family carry one look across the entire season, printed with the year, the krewe name, or a party theme. When Fat Tuesday finally arrives, your throws are already the signature people recognize from the first parade of the year.
Throws for Every Weekend of Carnival
Build a season lineup that fits your krewe and your parties:
- Full color medallion beads printed with the krewe name, the year, or a king cake theme.
- LED light up beads for night parades and late king cake parties.
- Shot glass beads made for krewe balls and toasts.
- Shaped beads in a mask, fleur, or emblem cut.
- Doubloon medallions struck as season keepsakes.
Order the Season in One Run
Carnival planning starts months out. Lock artwork in during the fall and the whole season’s signature throws sit ready before the first parade rolls, with quantities sized to a full schedule instead of one weekend.
Why Krewes Print Their Season Throws
A signature throw is what a krewe is remembered for. Print the name and the year on a strand and it turns into the piece the crowd hunts for, saved by riders and traded long after Lent begins. One season’s printing buys years of recognition on the route.

Frequently Asked Questions
How early should a krewe order beads for Carnival season?
Order in the fall or early winter to be safe. Most custom orders are produced in 14 days or less, but a full season schedule benefits from an early start so signature throws are ready before the first parade.
Can you print our krewe name and the year on the beads?
Yes. Full color printing puts the krewe name, year, or theme on the medallion at no extra charge for the number of colors. Send your art and we build a proof for approval.
Can I order enough beads for a full parade schedule?
Yes. Minimums are lower than most bulk suppliers, so you can order for one parade or an entire season. Call (877) 723-2348 to size a run to your schedule.
