90 Instagram Caption Ideas for Modern-Day Couples in Love (2024)

• Relationships

Achieving the perfect couple photo for Instagram is not easy. You have to consider lighting, background, and, of course, the fact that you and your partner must equally like the picture before posting it online. But that's not even the most difficult part of the process: Choosing an Instagram caption for couples that strikes the perfect balance of thoughtful and fun—without being too cheesy—is a task that often proves to be the most difficult. That said, don't let writer's block stop you from crafting the perfect caption, especially since they have the ability to "make or break" a post, explains matchmaker Rori Sassoon.

"Whether you want to be tasteful, sassy, or sentimental, the caption is crucial. For a romantic post, use a past memory as the basis. Think about writing a short love letter to your special someone. If you’re opting for your funnier, less serious side, employ an inside joke or pun. It’s okay to be tastefully cheesy," Sassoon shares. "Let’s say pop culture is your thing. Maybe they’re the Carrie to your Big, or vice versa. Have you been through Titanic circ*mstances together? Perhaps I sense a Jack x Rose allusion in your future." The matchmaker also notes that no matter what you post, it’s never a bad idea to run it by your partner before you go live, especially if they’re particular about social media PDA.

The good news? Choosing an Instagram caption just got a lot easier, as we put together a list of 90 ideas to choose from if you're stuck on what to write for your next post. Ahead, here are the best captions for couples that are anything but cheesy.
