Mobile is the birthplace of American Mardi Gras, and custom beads and throws for Mobile mystic societies ship in 14 days or less with lower minimums than most bulk suppliers. We print your society name, float number, emblem, or sponsor logo on beads, medallions, and doubloons made for the Government Street and Royal Street parade routes. Order in the traditional purple, gold, and green or any custom color your society uses.
Throws for Mobile’s Carnival Tradition
Mobile has celebrated Carnival since French colonists settled the port in the early 1700s, and its mystic societies have paraded downtown for generations. The Joe Cain Day procession on the Sunday before Fat Tuesday and the night parades leading up to Mardi Gras each need throws that fit a society’s theme and history. Riders order signature beads and stacks of throws months ahead so every float has enough to reach the crowds along Government, Royal, and Church Streets.
Signature Mobile Throws Beyond the MoonPie
The MoonPie is Mobile’s best-known throw, and custom beads and medallions ride right alongside it. Choose from these options for your society:
- Custom-printed beads with your mystic society name, year, or emblem
- Full-color medallion beads that show your float theme or crest
- Custom doubloons in aluminum or colored finishes for collectors
- LED light-up beads for the night parades downtown
- Shot glass beads for downtown bars, hotels, and restaurants
- Custom lanyards for society members, captains, and event staff
Lower Minimums and 14-Day Production
You do not need a warehouse order. Our lower minimums fit a single float, a small society, or a downtown business sponsor, and most custom orders finish in 14 days or less. We ship anywhere in the United States, so planners in Mobile, Daphne, and across Mobile and Baldwin Counties get throws in hand before the first parade rolls.
