Name:

Very casual wedding with an interesting theme

Received my cousin's wedding invite in the mail.

Theme was about tying the knot (which unfortunately was spelled wrong, but she was never a good speller Chat Icon)

Wedding is in Georgia in the beginning of April.

Attire is "Western or Casual"

WHAT DOES ONE WEAR to a western/caual wedding?

Also any ideas for a 4 year old girl & 6 year old boy?

I really DON'T want to dress them as cowboy/cowgirl attire.

eta. Keeping in mind that my son would definitely prefer to wear a suit & my daughter lives to wear party dresses.

I could call a family member to ask for a clarification since you are a "Yankee" and have no clue if you need dress like for Halloween. Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon

Me too. A nice subtle floral dress in light pink, yellow or blue. Chat Icon

I'd put Joseph in a blue shirt with chinos and brown shoes.

Re: Very casual wedding with an interesting them

western attire would be for your hubbie/son-jeans and a button down and for you and your DD a nice skirt with boots or a dress with boots.Chat Icon

If you don't want to dress them western style or buy boots just for this one occasion, don't, but they might be overdressed in a suit and party dress. If the kids don't care and you don't mind, go for it. Otherwise I'd take it down a notch and put them in khakis or nice jeans, a skirt for DD, and a button down or polo shirt.
