Any ideas on how to decorate plain white envelope?

soon 2 be Mrs Johnson

Our invitations came with plain white envelopes that are the size of the invitation. Any ideas how to decorate them to make them look better? We are doing a fall theme if this helps.

I don't know why you would want to decorate them - it will just make them harder for the post office to deliver, and you will likely get a lot returned to you (or lost forever) if the postal sorting machines can't read the addresses because they are trying to read the decorations instead.  Address them, put a fancy stamp on it if you must, and be done with it.

You can take stamps and make a small corner borders of leaves and one going across the top of the back flap.  I did this with stars for our STD envelopes - and none were returned.

Ditto PP.  The Post Office prefers simplicity.  GIven the issues they have with envelopes that are addressed correctly, I'd avoid embellishing.

Maybe reconsider spending time on something that is on a one way trip to the garbage can.  No one else will care what your envelopes look like and the PO will love you for keeping them plain.

I like the stamp idea, putting a few leaves in the bottom left corner of the front and maybe on the top center of the back. You can use different inkpads to get different fall colors
