A:
Although they did not "clean edge" perforate, the textured surface made it not so obvious. I folded them back and forth a few times before separating them. They had more of a "soft edge", but it matched the look of a textured card.
I am very particular, so prior to using them, I too was concerned they wouldn't look professional enough. The resulting invitations looked formal and elegant enough that I was proud to personally deliver them to our school committee and multiple administrators.
