You actually should use text-weight paper or lighter. Anything heavier would make the envelope really thick and hard to seal. Pretty colors! I used brown paper that felt like velvet to line my envelopes and got some great feedback on it (it cost a fortune to mail the envelopes because it made them so thick though). I got it at the Paper Presentation store in NYC, but I just did a quick google search and found some here: http://www.paperaddict.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=CTGY&Category_Code=139
Paper Presentation also makes pre-cut envelope liners in a ton of colors for A7-sized envelopes!
I'm using text weight paper from paper source and it's working well. I got large flat paper sheets for 60 cents each, and they are making about 9-10 liners/sheet.
Paper Source sells templates, though you could probably find them online as well or make your own by cutting down your envelope of choice.
Paper Source has a cheap and easy kit to use with various envelope sizes. Check it out here:

Thanks!
To the poster, have checked Hallmark? they have beautiful wrapping paper. You might wanna try polka dots or lined wedding wrapping paper in ivory.
I have the Paper Source templates and they are easy and great for Paper Source envelopes...If you have another company's envelopes make your own template with a piece of poster board or an old folder...I lined all of my shower thank you's with scrapbooking paper using a template I made. 
cbkj, you can use scrapbooking paper (not the stiff card kind though). There are tutorials on wedding bee - search "DIY liners" - I'm also doing a post on mine pretty soon. You don't need to buy a kit, it's super easy - you just trace the top of the flap of your envelope onto a stiff piece of cardstock, then chop off some of the bottom (square) part so the whole thing becomes smaller than the original envelope. That makes your template.

To line the envelopes can I use text weight paper? I have not been able to find any cute wrapping paper styles with our colors so I was just going to use a solid paper. Any ideas? The invite will be ivory w/ chocolate backing and lilac and chocolate ink, with an ivory envelope.
