Autumn is now here and the last traces of summer are disappearing only to be replaced by dark evenings, trees shedding their leaves and a chill in the air. However autumn has a lot going for it as well, and there is loads of fun to be had that can be helped with coloured envelopes.

For kids autumn means back to school and although this might not be reason to celebrate in itself, it gives children an opportunity to make new friends. Coloured envelopes could be used to invite new classmates to a party to make a good early impression (pink envelopes would be perfect for a young girl's party for her friends). Choose Autumnal colour shades - orange envelopes, yellow envelopes or green envelopes work well this season.

Autumn also means Halloween which is loved by kids and adults alike. Black envelopes, grey envelopes or silver envelopes would be ideal for sending out Halloween cards or party invitations or if you want a classier affair than one filled with plastic witch hats why not send your friends invites in gold envelopes to a tasteful autumn soiree.
