Do the inner and outer envelopes need to have the same flap shape?

Hello everyone! I just have a quick question regarding envelopes. I have already purchased my invitations through Minted, but unfortunately they do not sell outer envelopes so I have had to look elsewhere. My question is that the envelopes that came with my invitations have a square flap but I really have only had luck finding the outer envelopes with the European style flap (deep "v") in the colors I am looking for. Would it be "wrong" to use the mismatched envelope style, or would no one really notice?

Thanks in advance!

I’m a sucker for symmetry and uniformity when it comes to certain things so I’d say yes but I doubt most people will even notice. They be to busy thinking about what’s inside.

I wouldn't even notice. As long as the colors are the same, or complimentary, I would pay no attention to the flap shape.

I'm team no inner envelope, so I'm more confused when there is an inner envelope than paying attention to what shape envelopes are.

I wouldn’t notice if they were different flap shapes. I’ve also seen different colored ones too. It’s not as big of a deal as you think

Thanks everyone for your input! I guess my idea was to have two different colored envelopes as well, but I feel that maybe a compromise is to just get a white outer envelope and add in a lining to make sure the inner envelope stands out?
