If I had to name one subgenre of Instagram post I’d consider my favorite, I’d probably go with food Instagram. The captions are usually as notable as the photos themselves — and never is that truer than around the holidays. Need some inspiration? You can’t go wrong with these Thanksgiving 2018 food Instagram caption ideas, whether you’re into deep, philosophical thoughts or clever witticisms. Your pumpkin pie never had it so good.
There’s no doubt that we’re living in… uh… interesting times, as the saying goes. Even when things are at their most dire, though, there’s still plenty to be thankful for — and I’ll always consider sharing a good meal with my favorite people one of those things. And although I’m not generally a “pics on social media or it didn’t happen” kind of person, sometimes I do enjoy documenting a good time with a well-timed photo and a few choice words.
If you, too, are already planning out your Thanksgiving 2018 social media activity (because, yes, we live in a world where that is a thing), these caption ideas might be just what you’re looking for. Those turkey jokes aren’t going to make themselves, after all!
