24 Quotes To Use As Instagram Captions On Father's Day

Father's Day is almost here, and that means you need to start thinking of some ways to honor your dad. You’ll probably buy him a card and maybe a gift to match, but let's be honest: is it even a holiday if you don't post an ode to your dad or father figure on IG explaining why he's the best, accompanied by a photo where you happen to look amazing? Nope. All joking aside, there are plenty of ways to celebrate your dad on June 18, starting with a sweet Father’s Day message on Instagram with these caption ideas.

Even if your dad isn't on Instagram, doesn't look at it, and really has no idea what it is (dads are great that way), you're probably still going to post something about him, whether it’s a sweet shoutout or a full-on dad joke. You might unearth a photo from back when he still had hair, or take this convenient opportunity to repost the pic of him walking you down the aisle.
