Once upon a time, lovebirds slipped notes under their desks or carved their initials into a tree.
Nowadays, texts and Instagram are where it's at. Whether you want to let the world know you're a couple or that you're perfectly content remaining a party of one, the best way to express it is by posting to your grid.
If that's your plan this year, you may be searching for exactly the right words to top off your V-Day post. Fortunately, we've collected a list of Valentine's Day captions that are guaranteed to leave friends and family, well, head over heels.
Pardon our Valentine's Day pun, but we can't help but infuse a little humor into the situation, especially since romance, flowers and heart-shaped boxes of chocolate aren't exactly everyone's cup of tea. (Or their glass of champagne for that matter.)
Either way, this collection of funny, cute, short and sweet sayings is perfect for the occasion. Even if you aren't a fan of celebrating February 14 and prefer watching movies on the couch instead, we've got you covered with a list of anti-Valentine's Day sentiments that say, "Bah Hum-Lovebug" in all the best ways.
Got a Galentine's Day party on the books? We've got caption ideas for that too. Whatever love-inspired post you're cooking up this year, with these inspired Valentine's Day captions, friends and family are sure to deliver nothing but Xs and Os to your Instagram.
