Thanksgiving is the most wonderful time of the year â at least, in my opinion. Thanksgiving dinner is a wonderful opportunity to connect with family and friends, share updates and stories â and, of course, to get a couple of pictures in your best fall attire. And if you capture the perfect photos, why not share them on social media? But letâs be honest, when trying to come up with a clever caption, it can often come off as cringy instead. Captions are hard enough as it is, but throw in the sappy sentimentality of the holiday season, and they can teeter on cheesy very quickly!
Hereâs a nice rule of thumb to keep in mind for good, non-cringy Thanksgiving Instagram captions: Thanksgiving dinner and Instagram captions have something in common, in that one size does not fit all! Each person has traditions and preferences that make the holiday all the more special, and when it comes to social media, people curate their own feed in the way that best reflects them. The key is to be true to yourself.
But still, it can seem daunting to come up with the perfect, non-cringy caption, especially when there are so many ways to go about it. Thankfully, Iâm here to take that chore off of your plate so you can focus on what matters: enjoying the time with loved ones. Because why spend Thanksgiving trying to come up with the perfect Instagram caption when there are 36 waiting to be used?
