Adventure time
Alexa Ilacad threw her sister, Nadine Smith, an Adventure Time-inspired baby shower since both of them are fans of the animated series. When Nadine was pregnant, she would watch this show all the time. In fact, they called Nadine's baby girl “Fluffy Space Princess,” inspired by the Adventure Time character Lumpy Space Princess and now Nadine's husband’s term of endearment for their daughter!

Upon hearing the narrator mention the constellation Andromeda, we looked at each other and said AT THE EXACT SAME TIME: 'That’s a nice name for a baby girl!'
And four years later, they did name their baby girl Andromeda!
The dessert bar was everyone’s favorite corner because of the cute star-themed cake and colorful galaxy-inspired unicorn cupcakes with star-shaped candies, both created by Sugar Corner.PHOTO BY James BesaloADVERTISEMENT - CONTINUE READING BELOWThe baby shower was held at D’Cup Coffee Republic, which was a restaurant that looked like a library full of books.
