Just my three and a half cents worth. (Inflation you know.)
Like I said, I have an allergy to novelty fonts. Part of the issue with Comic Sans is that because it's provided with Windows, you see it everywhere, whether it's an appropriate choice or not.

If bbusybookworm wants to use Comic Sans, fine by me. I'm not the one making the cards and handing them out. I'm just a typography maven and font collector with opinions.

I do have to ask what is "formal" or "threatening" about any of the fonts I mentioned. Sans Serif is widely enough used that I doubt it will put off even the most ardent technophobe.
