How to throw a joint bachelor/bachelorette party at a baseball game

Most of our friends are couples and we all share in the enjoyment of each other’s company. There are no “his” friends and “her” friends, they are simply, “our friends.” Add in our 10-month old daughter, and the need for typical bachelor and bachelorette parties goes right out the window.
