Côtier Brand Home Entertaining Products: Take Entertaining to the Next Level With Innovative Party Games & Décor Kits by 30Seconds Mom

Nothing feels quite as good as hosting a successful event. Whether it’s a baby shower, dinner party, wedding or random Sunday to reconnect with friends, when you see the smiles on your guests’ faces and feel the energy that things are going as planned – better than planned – you feel like you’re on cloud nine. Did you know there’s a company that can help you pull off that great event?

Côtier Brand offers unique party games and décor kits to help you inspire a vibe and create connections that can make your gathering unforgettable. The company’s vision is to “empower the everyday hostess to create unforgettable moments and events that guests will always enjoy.” Their unique products are expertly designed to ignite connection between guests at any event and provide a structured approach to gatherings that takes the guesswork out of planning a good time.

The Faces Behind Côtier

The Austin, Texas-based company was founded in 2017 by Marx Succès Jr. and Amber Succès. For Amber, nothing is more satisfying than helping people celebrate the big and small special moments in life. Before founding Côtier Brand, Amber served as an FBO manager in the private aviation sector and has a degree in Aviation Management from Purdue University – and her commercial pilot’s license. If you think it’s a big jump going from aviation to entertaining, she disagrees. She feels that just as a pilot would have a checklist to work through before taking off, a hostess has a checklist to execute before her event takes off.

Amber’s entrepreneurial spirit has helped her create an industry leader in Côtier Brand, and the company’s innovative products are on major e-tailer’s sites like Target.com. While running the successful home-entertaining and party products company keeps her busy, she is also obsessed with cooking – especially Jamaican and Haitian cuisine. She hosts parties and events often at home while being a wife and mother.

Marx Succès’ passion for entrepreneurship began during his college years at Purdue University, where he earned his degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering. Building successful businesses, like engineering at its core, is a matter of strategic and imaginative problem-solving. It was this problem-solving mindset that helped create the vision to start Cotier Brand, along with his wife, Amber.

Marx's unique upbringing of being raised by Caribbean immigrants instilled and reinforced timeless values such as generosity, integrity, commitment and relentless work ethic. As a result, it's no accident that his childhood summers since the age of 12 were filled with mission trips to places such as Haiti, the Philippines, Jamaica, South Africa and many others. He believes in the richness of human connection, which is the idea that surrounds the building of Côtier Brand and his ongoing philanthropic endeavors.

How Côtier Brand Products Work at a Baby Shower

A baby shower is supposed to be a fun event to celebrate with the mom-to-be – and sometimes the dad-to-be, too. Those boring, obligatory games like wrapping toilet paper around mom-to-be’s belly, stealing clothespins when you say “baby” and guessing how many jelly beans there are in the baby bottle can get old. But playing a game of Did Baby Poopie? will bring laughter and lots of great memories for guests and mama. Convokins conversation-starting napkins can get guests talking in between playing those games and may lead to real, authentic connections between guests – and lots of laughter.

Here are more baby shower entertaining ideas from Côtier:

DIY ABC Book for Baby: This is a fun and simple activity that is not so much a game as it is an arts and crafts project that gives the mom a special keepsake for herself and the little one. Simply lay out some art supplies like watercolors, paint markers, crayons, stamps, etc., and have each guest choose a letter and decorate a page with corresponding words and images.

Mom-osa Bar: There is absolutely nothing wrong with sharing a few drinks during a baby shower, and it is a great way to get people settled in and talking with each other. This is another fantastic ice-breaking strategy that also adds an instant layer of elegance and charm to the event. To really make your mom-osa bar stand out, use a quality mimosa bar kit that comes loaded with finely made, matching items that look beautiful set out over a table. This is one activity everyone will want to be a part of!

Baby Predictions and Mommy Advice: For this activity, guests will write down their guesses about the baby’s weight, eye and hair color, what they might accomplish in their future and other characteristics. They can also share special words of advice and other motherly insights for the new mommy. All of these special details can be written down on cards and filled out at any point during the shower. They can be dropped off after they are completed and reviewed together at the shower or afterward in private by the parents. Either way, this is a very special way to collect special memories of friends and family that can be fondly looked at over the years.

The feeling of hosting a great event, no matter what the occasion, is one you will remember for years to come. Why not get help from the pros to bring that energy to your next event? Learn more about Côtier Brand and their innovative party products.
