You know that this is your one shot to earn brownie points for your husband. Can't you just imagine walking into a new house and instantly knowing what the evening holds in store for you by just the decorations theme. Throw together a good old fashioned Texas barbecue and you will have a great night. Of course the number one that comes to my mind for a barbecue would be a cowboy theme.

You could even request that your company join in on the fun and wear cowboy shirts and boots.

The internet is a wonderful tool for just these kinds of party ideas. I think a party's tone is set by the party's decorations, food and company in that order. I will name a few that I think would be fun to throw together in short notice and would be a blast. How do you achieve this on such a short notice. You of course want to be the perfect hostess, have the most organized house, cleanest house, and the funnest party.

It is night and your husband comes home and tells you that he has invited his boss and the out of lyman clients over to your house for a barbecue in 3 days.
