Review on Luminary Fire Retardant Valentine Reception Engagement by Jonathan Davenport

I bought these bags to wear on the porch and over the railing on Halloween. My porch is closed and stays absolutely dry all year round. This is a type of porch built into the house with the cornice running all the way around and hanging well over the porch. My front porch is decked out for every holiday season, including Christmas when my front porch stays snow free. In 15 years my porch has never had a drip or rain so I can decorate it all year round and everything stays dry and spotless. Before these bags, I had other glowing bags that I bought 15 YEARS AGO. (pump and spooky faces). Yes! These bags have lasted 15 years in near perfect condition and have been on display every Halloween. The only reason I threw those bags away was because our basement flooded and they were floating in the water for 2 days, all glued up and moldy in their bag. I was actually a bit sad because who would have expected light up bags to last 15 years? They were PHENOMENAL! In any case, these bags are very pretty with moon and star cutouts BUT they are exactly the same weight and thickness as brown paper bags compared to my other bags which were thicker and appeared to have a cover. . About a week before Halloween, I placed these bags along the railing and scattered them among the pumpkins on the porch and on the glass table, among other things. I put my little battery timer in there along with the little sandbags to keep them from flying away. They looked BEAUTIFUL and the night of the vows ceremony on my porch was GREAT! The packages stood upright, nice and crisp, square. loved her! I check the next morning and all the bags were "banked" and wrinkled! I couldn't believe it and when I walked outside it seemed to me that a bit of cold morning dew (I'm in Illinois) had completely soaked the bags and they were all dented and looked awful. them and put them back. The next morning the same. That's enough for me. There was no way I was going to take them there every morning, dry them and put them back in, and there was no way I was going to leave them there, collapsed, wet and wrinkled. If the glow bags aren't straight, crisp, and square, they'll look awful. So that was it and I gave up. I will look for bags similar to the originals I had. If you plan on putting them outdoors, they won't work unless you live in a place with no moisture or morning dew, such as a B. in a desert! I can stand on my porch and stay dry in the worst of a thunderstorm or snowstorm. So if they wouldn't stay up well on my porch, I doubt they would stay up well on anyone's porch unless the air was dry. They are beautiful but unfinished and more practical for indoor use. :(
