Pen thank-yous on playful papers. We found cute cards in the color scheme, like the blossom card and envelope by Snow and Graham (5) and deckle-edge set from Kate's Paperie (9). Or create pairings: Slip dotty cards from Carrot and Stick Press (1) into aqua envelopes; put oval cards from Paper Source (2) or aqua tags from Paper Presentation (3) into red ones.

Convey the palette outside the envelopes too: Use red calligraphy on blue, and color-coordinated stamps (4); circle stickers -- red by Avery, blue by Paper Source -- seal them (7). Geometric tags from Paper Presentation (8) make fun seating cards.

Dangle seating cards by Carrot and Stick Press (6) from ribbon, and pin to a board with red tacks. Unless noted, envelopes are from Paper Presentation. Calligraphy by Maybelle Imasa-Stukuls and Nancy Howell.
