It’s that time of the year again. Lawn wars are upon us; exhibitions are being flocked to. You may have your eyes on the prize, but getting through the aunty horde, grabbing the suit and reaching the counter alive is no easy feat.

Here are some (easy, and not so easy) survival tips to improve your chances of living to tell the tale of your lawn exhibition experience.

1. Go campin’ or go home

Get there a night before and bring a friend/a book/your fav PJs and some snacks along. Make it a movie night outside the store doors and make sure you’re the first one inside before the real throng arrives.

2. Dress for fight or flight

Wear heels only if you intend to use them as a weapon. Your workout tracks and sneakers is what we would recommend, so you can make a quick getaway at a minute’s notice. Say no to flowing dupattas and flowing locks, both of which can be used against you in a showdown.

3. Look like you mean business

Arrive in style. Own the lawn game. Tell others you are here to win.

4. Timing is EVERYTHING!

Survey the exhibition site well before the final day. Prepare everything. Entry. Exits. Rate your love for the suits as soon as the pictures are out on social media and make sure you have memorised the codes for them. As soon as you spot your favourite lawn jora, run after it like your life depends on it.

5. Have a game plan

Snacks? Check. Kids safely at nani’s place? Check. Ready to go to any lengths? Check. Bestie sworn to secrecy on ‘what happens at the exhibition stays at the exhibition’? Check.

6. Keep your phone close by

For any emergencies, compose farewell messages and record pleas for help to be used in crucial, life-threatening situations.

7. Finders keepers, losers weepers

If all else fails, just grab what you can get and consider yourself lucky.

8. Or, skip those evil exhibitions and order that jaw-dropping, envy-inspiring lawn jora online
