100 Thanksgiving Instagram Captions to Pair With Your Perfect Holiday Photo

Part of what we love about Thanksgiving is the delicious dinner. But it's not ALL about the stuffing or our favorite pie. We also show up year after year to catch up with our loved ones and create special memories with them. And there's nothing better than taking a few photos to capture those magical moments and sharing them on social media. But before you can post on Instagram or Facebook a selfie in your cute Thanksgiving outfit, your giant group photo at the dinner table, or your picture of your perfectly cooked golden-brown turkey, you have to find the perfect Thanksgiving caption to pair with it — and that's where we come in.

With this list of the best Thanksgiving captions, that range from short and punny to sweet and sentimental sayings, you can find just the right thing to add to your photo before pressing "post." Use it as a chance to call out your blessings and show gratitude for what you're thankful for or joke around about overeating and needing a post-turkey nap. Thanksgiving celebrations look different for everyone, so whether you have a low-key dinner with your boyfriend at a restaurant or a rowdy family gathering of 40+ people, there's certainly a caption that fits the vibe of any photo you choose to share.
