They are still in great use when it comes to business, in mailing statements, bills, and other such things. Envelopes are also consistently used for gift cards, birthday cards, wedding cards, and other special occasion cards. Even when traditional mail goes entirely out of style, the envelope will surely not, and will perhaps become more exciting in design as it attempts to keep up with trends.

Coloured envelopes have opened up a whole new world to letter and card giving, as it provides even more opportunity to zero uniquely in on the recipient.
