Coming Up With Your Own Captions

There are a lot of opportunities for great Halloween captions on Instagram. It’s a fun and spooky holiday, so have fun with it! You can be a prankster, ominously creepy, or just fun.

One of the best ways to create unique captions is a play on words. Ghouls and girls sound similar and can be interchangeable depending on the context (but that one’s easy so play with more words).

Another thing to think of including in your captions is something from pop-culture. In 2020, some of the more scary aspects you could use include Sardine Oil, Surgical Masks, and running low on toilet paper. If you’re a prankster, this will certainly play to your advantage with your friends.

Next, tie in a great photo or video to really put everything together for your followers. Afterall, you’re posting content for them to enjoy. Consider if they typically enjoy cute and funny posts, or if they appreciate something a little more clever and complex.

Prepare now to make your favorite scary holiday an Instagram success. Got any great suggestions for Instagram quotes? Share them with us below!

Waterfall Thoughts

“I keep my kindness in my eyes
Gently folded around my iris
Like a velvety, brown blanket
That warms my vision

I keep my shyness in my hair
Tucked away into a ponytail
Looking for a chance to escape
On a few loose strands in the air

I keep my anger on my lips
Just waiting to unleash into the world
But trust me; it’s never in my heart
It evaporates into words

I keep my dignity upon my chin
Like a torch held up high
For those who have betrayed me
Radiating a silent, strong message

I keep my gratitude in my smile
A glistening waterfall in the sun
Gently splashing at that person
Who made me happy for some reason

I keep my sensitivity in my hands
Reaching out for your wet cheek
Holding you, with all the love
The love I want to share and feel

I keep my passion in my writing
My words breathing like fire
Screeching against an endless road
As I continue to be inspired

I keep my simplicity in my soul
Spread over me like a clear sky
Reflecting all that I am
And all that’s ever passed me by

And I hope you will look
Beyond my ordinary face
My simple, tied hair
My ordinary tastes
And I hope you will see me
From everyone…apart
As I keep my beauty
in my heart.”
Sanober Khan

The 90 Best Wedding Captions for Instagram

Few moments in life are sweeter than the moment when your beloved asks you to be their spouse, or the moment when your beloved says yes to your offer of marriage. Deciding that this is the person you want to spend the rest of your life with is a deeply significant event, and from the moment someone says “yes”, your lives change forever. The coming months will be full of preparation and work, as you choose a venue, a date, and plan the event.

It’s no surprise that many of us want to memorialize this special time in our social media feeds. Whether it’s a post on Facebook or a story on Instagram, sharing this day with the people most important to us is a natural thing to do. You may even want to share every step of your journey with those closest to you. If you’re looking to share the journey from engagement to marriage with your friends and followers on Instagram but you’re having a difficult time coming up with good captions for your moments, we’ve got you covered.

Engagement Announcements

Announcing your engagement on social media is the easiest way to spread the news about your pending nuptials—or at least, it’s easier than calling all your distant relatives to let them know. Posting on Instagram allows you to select multiple photos or videos in one post, share directly to other networks like Facebook and Twitter, and most importantly, include a caption to further explain your pictures. If you’re looking for a cheeky caption to add onto your engagement announcement, or just want some ideas for what you could say, check out some of these captions below to really make your engagement post pop!

100 Cat Captions for Instagram – Meow

There was a time when the Internet was used to share research results between university scientists and to send e-mail, but one day someone discovered the True Purpose of this global network of telecommunications equipment:  The Internet is for CATS. LOLCats, Keyboard Cat, Nyan Cat… even I Can Has Cheeseburger was launched by a cat.  Then came celebrity cats:  Grumpy Cat and Lil’ Bub (may they rest in peace), Monty, Venus, and so many more.  It turns out, the general population has a thirst for cats that only the internet can feed!

These days, people do most of their picture sharing on Instagram, one of the largest and most successful social media sites out there. Instagram is of course a haven for cat-related posts of all sorts.  The Internet and Instagram have become the perfect place for cat lovers to meet and share the joy inspired by our four-legged companions, with collections of hashtags that lead users to treasure troves of videos and photos of cats and kittens being adorable, engaging in hilarious hijinx, being ultra wild, and being slothfully mild.

If you have a cat, chances are very good that you’re already sharing photos of your furry feline friends on Instagram.  But sometimes, you might not be able to come up with that purr-fect caption that helps you truly capture the love you feel for your little buddy.  Fear not- we’ve got quite a few captions in mind to help you really get your followers “feline” the love!

(Hey maybe you’re more of a dog person…if so, no worries, we’ve still got you covered.)

Purrfect Puns

Many cat pictures are super sweet.  You can practically feel the snuggles from the other side of the screen.  Consider an adorable pun to accompany these tender moments.

  • I love you meow and furever.
  • Sometimes you have to paws the world.
  • Happy Caturday!
  • You gotta be kitten me!

  • Live long and pawspurr.

Cat Jokes

So, maybe they read a little more like Dad Jokes, but hey, who doesn’t love a great, clean, corny joke?

  • Did you hear about the mama cat who ate a whole ball of yarn? She gave birth to a litter of mittens!
  • What’s the official name for a pile of cats? A meowntain.

  • Why don’t cats play poker? Too many cheetahs.

Cats vs. Dogs

Nearly everyone will agree that cats and dogs are entirely different creatures, in every possible way!  While dogs tend to be lovable extroverts who love showing off tricks and providing relentless companionship, cats are more introspective, independent, and equipped with a purring mechanism that can rattle the walls when they are pleased.  Some of the luckiest of us are owned by both critters, and we dedicate these captions to these mixed-species families!

  • Dogs have owners; cats have staff.
  • “Dogs come when they’re called. Cats take a message and get back to you later.” – Mary Bly
  • “Women and cats will do as they please, and men and dogs should relax and get used to the idea.” – Robert Heinlein
  • Cats rule, and dogs drool.
  • ““Meow” means “woof” in cat.” – George Carlin
  • “Dogs eat. Cats dine.” – Ann Taylor
  • “Cats are smarter than dogs. You can’t get eight cats to pull a sled through snow.” – Jeff Valdez
  • “Dogs are not like cats, who amusingly tolerate humans only until someone comes up with a tin opener that can be operated with a paw.” – Terry Pratchett

Cats and Food

Cats are famous for their relentless appetites.  Anyone who has felt a hungry cat drag its whiskers across their face in the middle of the night can attest that it’s impossible to ignore a hungry cat.  From endless meows, to the “paw and pounce” approach, cats are very talented at sharing their need for feed.

  • “Smelly cat. Smelly cat. What are they feeding you?” – Phoebe Buffay
  • There is no snooze button on a cat that wants breakfast.
  • Hungry cat is hungry… always.
  • “Cats ask plainly for what they want.”  – Walter Savage Landor
  • “One of my biggest fears is that I’m going to die alone in my home, and my cats will eat me because I am too dead to open their food cans.” – Kelli Jae Baeli

For the Love of Cats

Cats would be frustrating, if they weren’t so darned endearing.  Once you’ve fallen in love with one cat, it’s inevitable that you’ll keep falling in love for the rest of your life.  What better way to share that feeling that with a serious Feline Appreciation post on your Instagram feed.  Consider these quotes and sayings to accompany your post.

  • “What greater gift than the love of a cat.” – Charles Dickens
  • “The smallest feline is a masterpiece.” – Leonardo da Vinci
  • “I love cats more than I love most people.” – Amy Lee
  • “Time spent with a cat is never wasted.” – Sigmund Freud
  • Cats make a house a home.
  • I fall in love with every cat I see.

  • “A meow massages the heart.” – Stuart McMillan
  • Crazy cat lady confirmed.
  • “A woman hath nine lives like a cat.” – John Heywood

Through the Eyes of a Cat

It’s clear that cats have a different reality than us basic humans.  What if we could live like cats?  Furthermore, what if cats could post to Instagram?  How would they caption their selfies?

  • So exhausted. I’ve only slept 15 hours today.
  • It’s mouse hunting season.
  • Basking in the glory of my internet fame.
  • Strut…pause…strut…pause.  Lick my tail, and… POSE!
  • I am not amused.  I am never amused.  I am a cat.
  • I’ll fetch if I feel like it.
  • The reason I sleep all day is because my human has poor taste in binge watching.
  • We cats have websites where they upload videos of humans trying to open Tyvek envelopes and start lawn mowers… except we don’t have thumbs, so we never watch them.

In the Mind of a Cat

Cats probably have very complicated minds.  They’re house-sized, domestic predators with extremely packed schedules.  After all, they have to sleep fifteen hours, leave hairballs in your shoes, prepare for meals hours ahead of time, hunt insects and other small prey, and knock things off shelves.  That’s a lot of planning!  So what goes on in that little furry head?

  • What do cats think about?  Probably world domination… and strategies for tripping humans on the stairs.
  • “Cats are intended to teach us that not everything in nature has a purpose.” – Garrison Keillor
  • “Cats are the connoisseurs of comfort.” – James Herriot
  • “The cat does not offer services; the cat offers itself.” – William S. Burrows
  • You don’t own cats. They own you.

  • There is no such thing as an ordinary cat.
  • Cat’s aren’t that mysterious. With a cat, you always know what you’re getting.
  • You can teach a cat to do anything that they feel like doing.
  • “Cats tell me without effort all that there is to know.” – Charles Bukowski
  • “In my head, the sky is blue, the grass is green and cats are orange.” – Jim Davis

The Best Beach Captions for Instagram

Is there anywhere better than the beach? In the dog days of summer, or even in mid-winter if you’re lucky in your climate choices, locals and visitors both find themselves attracted to this wonderful intersection of sand, sky, and sea. Swimming pools have their own charm, but there’s just something about setting up that big picnic towel on a stretch of sand and soaking in the sun.

You can bet that come summertime, thousands of people will flock to the same beach spots, looking for a place to swim away from their troubles and get some relaxation time in. If you’re looking to hang out with your friends, enjoy some time with your significant other drinking margaritas in the sun, or you just want to enjoy the view and feel the water on your feet, heading out to a day at the beach is one of the favorite pastimes of people around the world. And of course you can bet it’s one of the best places to take photos of you and your friends relaxing, swimming, and having a good time.

Once you have those photos of the beach to remember your time in the sun and in the water, posting those images on Instagram is a must. However, you might worry that your caption game isn’t quite on point. If you don’t know what you should caption your pictures, don’t worry: we have you covered. Whether you’re looking for a classic joke, a pun-filled comment to accompany your statements, or something a little bit more sentimental, these are some of our favorite beach-themed captions for when you travel to the sandy shore—or for when you’re missing the feeling of sand between your toes. Let’s take a look.

Pun-filled Excursions

Look, not everyone loves puns, and that’s okay. Wordplay that makes you roll your eyes can be hilarious, groan-worthy, or something that falls in between. Everyone reacts differently to a good pun, but almost everyone has some amount of appreciation for them, and that’s what makes them work paying attention towards. Every caption below has a whimsical pun to accompany your photos, and while it may make your friends and family use the eyeroll emoji more than they’d like, it’ll get a reaction—and likely a laugh—all the same.

  • Girls Just Want to Have Sun!
  • Seas the Day!
  • Tropic like its hot.
  • Resting Beach Face.
  • Aquaholic.
  • If there’s a will, there’s a wave.
  • Shell we dance?

  • Beach life is shore perfect.
  • Adios beaches!
  • Water we doing here?
  • Beach you to it.
  • You used to call me on my shellphone.
  • The beach gives me porpoise.
  • Water we waiting for!

Beach Time Rhymes

Puns definitely aren’t everyone’s sense of humor, so if you’re looking for something that might fit your style a bit more than these, check out some of the rhyming captions below. By using rhyming and alliteration, they serve up a sense of fun that won’t have anyone sneering at your pun-fueled jokes. Plus, they come attached with a fun sense of poetry, something you can’t say for every random post on Instagram. Check out some of our favorite rhyming captions for beaches below!

  • The lower the latitude the better the attitude.
  • Let the sea set you free.
  • An ocean breeze puts the mind at ease.
  • Let the waves hit your feet and the sand be your seat.
  • Sandy toes. Sunkissed nose.BeachInstagramPhoto2

  • Palm trees and 80 degrees.
  • You, me, a drink and the sea.
  • Palm trees. Ocean breeze.
  • A pineapple a day keeps the worries away.
  • The sun and the sand and a drink in my hand.

Fun and Sun

If we clear the puns and we clear the rhyming, we’re left with some classic humor to fill in the blanks. Sometimes you don’t want a gimmick for your post; you just want some good old-fashioned humor to help people have a laugh when sliding through your feed. And that’s okay too! Even if puns aren’t your thing, and rhyming leaves you whining (sorry), we think you’ll enjoy some of these captions below.

  • Gone to the beach. Be back never.
  • I’ll have a side of beach with my morning coffee.

Fin-spirational Quotes

Moving away from humor altogether, we have some inspirational and artistic quotes for you to consider. While posting humor may be some people’s thing, adding a bit of flair to the caption or posting text within the image on the display can really help anyone looking for some calming and soothing content for their posts. Not everyone has to try and be a comedian, and if that’s not your thing, here’s the best way to spread some inspiration using your Instagram feed.

  • Life is a beach, I’m just playing in the sand.
  • Salt water cures all wounds.
  • Even filled with clouds, this beach can’t bring me down.
  • Dreams are made of sun and sand.
  • Memories are made in flip flops.

  • You can shake the sand from your shoes but not from your heart.
  • The tans will fade but the memories will last forever.

  • Time seems different at the beach. All too fast, yet somehow, all too slow.

Part of Your World

Here we have something a bit unique to the beach and the joy of swimming along through the ocean. There’s nothing more related to the beach and the ocean than the idea of mermaids, mythical creatures romanticized through recent history as lovesick creatures floating below the surface. Using mermaid iconography and some inspiration from films like The Little Mermaid or Aquamarine, you too can pretend to be a mermaid swimming deep below the ocean surface. So if the captions above don’t float your boat (again, sorry), maybe these will help serve you just a bit better. Let’s take a look.

  • Mermaid vibes.
  • Mermaids only.
  • There are a million fish in the sea, but me? I’m a mermaid.
  • Every girl deserves to feel like a princess, but I want to feel like a mermaid.
  • You can’t swim with us.

  • There are plenty of fish in the sea, but I’m a mermaid.
  • Be a mermaid, and make waves.
  • Someday I’ll be / part of your world.
  • Always be yourself. Unless you can be a mermaid. Then always be a mermaid.
  • Mermaids have more fun.
  • If your thighs touch, you are one step closer to being a mermaid.
  • A smooth sea never made a skilled mermaid.

***

Some people simply don’t like the beach, and you’ll likely find that no matter how witty, hilarious, or unique your captions are that they’ll be won over by the sun and surf. Hopefully your images, combined with the captions we’ve shared above, help to get your friends out to the beach a bit more often, even if it takes some persistence and persuasion on your part to get them there. Remember, the beach is a place of love, joy, happiness, and above all, warmth, so have an excellent time while working on your tan and remember not to let the stresses of everyday life bring you down.

134 Instagram Captions for the Zoo

There’s only one destination that has it all:  a wild side, a mild side, some major laughs, and a lot of learning.  Where is this magical place?  The zoo, of course!  Tourists and locals alike flock to the zoo to learn more about their favorite wild creatures, to support conservation efforts, to get some exercise in the fresh air, and of course, to take plenty of pictures.  Who doesn’t want to flood Instagram with lions and elephants?

The zoo is a good place spend some time outside with friends and family, and taking pictures of the animals is always fun.

83 Running Captions for Instagram

When it comes to exercising, there’s nothing more classic than going for a nice jog. Running is a fantastic exercise that helps to build healthy hearts and lungs, while also working your leg muscles, burning calories faster than most other workouts, and being a whole lot of fun to boot. Very few sports allow anyone to jump in, but running and jogging both allow for anyone, regardless of their financial status, to get outside and start moving. As long as you have a pair of  sneakers and a trail to run on, you’re good to go.

While you’re out running through the city streets or are trail blazing down a forest pathway, you’ll want to make sure you bring plenty of water and your phone to capture some snaps. Once you have those photos of your athletic achievements, you need to have some clever or meaningful captions so that you can share your victories with your Instagram followers. Next time you share a shot of yourself tearing down the track or jogging through the woods, pick a caption that expresses your passion. Let everyone know that you’re a runner, and that you mean business.
