What should a 4 year old boy wear for a summer wedding?

We're going to a wedding this summer. It's a very smart, all day event with a black tie evening reception. But there's lots of kids attending, a picnic lunch with lawn games and the bride and groom are putting on a bouncy castle and other activities for the kids (the venue also has a play area). What would you dress a 4 year old boy in so he's smart but comfortable and can run around and make the most of the day? I'd prefer not a suit.

I like that @Greatoutdoors....will have a closer look!

I also saw this shirt which wouldn't break the bank (and could get 2!): www2.hm.com/en_gb/productpage.1035489002.html

Could pair it with some long chino/bermuda shorts and some boat shoes.

Yes lovely.

Sailor suit like Prince Louis would be ideal. Grin
Actually ds loved his sailor suit I made him for a wedding and wore it to destruction. Soft shorts and t-shirt top which looked smart.
When he was 6yo he was an usher and wore a suit from Next. He looked gorgeous in it, but he's nearly 10 years older and I'm not certain how many times he's worn trousers since but it's less than a dozen times.
He says when he gets married the dress code will say very firmly "shorts" only.

I've got this for a wedding this weekend for DS, along with a pair of navy chino shorts and converse - www2.hm.com/en_gb/productpage.1035523001.html

That is his spare outfit in case he spills anything. I'd got one full length outfit and one short it in case it was sunny. So he'll wear his long outfit for the day, and then we've got that shirt as a back up if needed.

His main outfit is navy chinos with braces, a white shirt and bow tie. I think it was £15 from H&M for the full outfit.
