18 Instagram Captions For Your Bestie’s Birthday That Actually Aren’t Lame

When you and your bestie go way back, their birthday is akin to a national holiday. You can feel it coming like Christmas, and you want it to last as long as Hanukkah. You want to be prepared for it, and incorporate some surprises so you can make sure that the day is super special and memorable for your bestie. If after you've planned the gifts, the baked goods you'll give them, and the thoughtful little surprises you'll spring on your bestie, you might want to plan your Instagram caption idea for your best friend's birthday — because now that we're robots living in 2018, it's time to acknowledge that social media posts are gifts, too. Necessary gifts, at that.

So find a really cute picture of you and your bestie — or better, make a little slideshow of pictures of you and your bestie, and choose one of these quotes to go along with it. No doubt your bestie will melt from all the love. Plus, it gives your other friends an opportunity to write birthday wishes, which is totally clutch now that we rarely use the Facebook wall for such things.

In a time when we're so concerned with how we curate our lives and how we make ourselves look on social media, it's important to take a break from the "me, me, me show" and make your bestie feel important by turning your Instagram from the day into the "you, you, you show". So get some pictures ready, and make sure you post the ones where you know she'd like, and pair them with one of these hilarious or heartfelt
