WTF? Why would you send me an el-cheapo homemade invite that says "Casual" and not expect me to wear jeans?
What the heck is dressy casual? I am not wearing black pants. This isn't 1998.

LOL!! When I read "casual," I think "business casual" and assume a pair of slacks or khakis and a nice top. Something that's not quite dressing down but not too dressed up. I know these distinctions get complicated sometimes especially since it's become acceptable to dress up jeans.
I say keep everything except for the jeans and opt for a nicer bottom. Some people may show up in jeans but since you're unsure it's always safe to be dressier just in case.
