55 Valentine's Day Instagram Captions For Whatever Situation You're In
If you post a cliché, people WILL unfollow. Hey, I don't make the rules!
It's hard enough to express your feelings IRL, but now, you've gotta do it on social media too. Why? Because, you know, it's Valentine's Day!
Whether or not you're celebrating with a special someone, this holiday brings up all kinds of unexpected emotions. Keep that in mind as you craft the perfect Instagram caption to go along with your V-Day post. You want people to like what you post, not roll their eyes at a cliché and keep scrolling. Let these suggestions inspire you, whether you're posting your love for your galentine's squad, hoarding chocolate, wow'ing everyone with your #couplegoals, or are just generally thrilled about all things pink and heart-shaped.
(Valentine's Day haters, I see you, but I actually have one super serious request: Please don't post "Happy Anna Howard Shaw Day," á la that one episode of 30 Rock. Liz Lemon pointed out that Shaw was born on February 14 and fought for some women's rights—but like many suffragettes, she actively fought against rights for people of color in this country. So let's uhhh not.)
Here's a legit list of Valentine's Day Instagram captions below. Hopefully, these will decrease even the tiniest bit of your V-Day stress, so you can live (laugh) and love to the fullest!
