For purely ornamental, temporary fences, the vinyl might provide enough structural integrity to support the rails. Look at it from a worst-case scenario. Some kid is going to climb that fence and break it down. By putting a 4 x 4 in each one, you will have a very sturdy, low maintenance fence. Be sure to use only treated lumber and set the posts in concrete at least for the corner posts. If you have occasional high winds, you will probably want to set all of the posts in concrete. After the posts are set, slide the vinyl over them and secure them with 1-1/2 inch flat washers on 1 inch panhead screws (stainless steel hardware is best) an inch or two above ground level so any water can drain from the vinyl sleeves. If water can't drain, the sleeves will certainly split if the water freezes and the posts will swell from becoming waterlogged.
