What separates Mardi Gras "throw" beads from other Mardi Gras beads? As the name implies, throw beads are literally meant to be thrown. During Carnival parades, Krewe members throw handfuls of beaded necklaces to eager crowds. Kids especially love catching and wearing throw beads, but everyone gets into the spirit. Folks wear their beads around their necks for the rest of the day, often trading beads with one another to add to the fun.

Throw beads are made and threaded by machine. Other types of Mardi Gras beads may be strung by hand. Because they're made by machine, throw beads cost a lot less than hand-strung beads. These beads are extremely affordable, so that parade organizers and event planners can feel free to buy them--and throw them--in huge quantities.

Here at Mardi Gras Outlet, we make it a point to reward our customers for placing larger orders. In this way, we're able to sell heavy orders at what amounts to wholesale prices. Buy throw beads in one-case, five-case or 10-case shipments, and enjoy deeper discounts with each increase in your order's size.

Customers can order throw beads a number of different ways. Order by length of beads, by size and style, or by color. Although the official colors of Mardi Gras are P-G-G (purple, green and gold), many customers like to buy beads in specific colors that match their team's or organization's colors. We often receive orders for beads in school colors to be thrown by cheerleaders, marching bands, mascots and so on.
