21 Actually Funny Puns To Use As Your Instagram Caption On New Year’s Eve

A lot goes into the perfect New Year's Eve: good company, great snacks, the right atmosphere, and an outfit that makes a statement but isn't totally uncomfortable. Get all of those ducks in a row, and a good time should be had by all. Chances are that you'll want to mark the occasion with some social media dispatches that combine the perfect photo with a witty caption — and since you may or may not have indulged in a champagne toast or two by the time you're ready to hit "post," it's probably best that you do a little pre-planning for your 'gram. To that end, here are a few New Year's Eve Instagram captions that are also puns for you to use on the last night of 2017 — and don't worry, they're not the lame kinds of puns.

I know puns aren't everyone's cup of tea, but you've gotta admit that a so-bad-it's-good one liner or certifiably nerdy dad joke is just ripe for caption glory. 2017 was such a dismal year that it's really best if we can just laugh it off, anyway. Any one of these proposed captions can match pretty much any New Year's-related photo you decide to post on Dec. 31, and I can almost guarantee that you won't regret a single one of them when you wake up on Jan. 1 and scroll through your feed. (Plus, they're not that specific, so you can use any of these on any sort of photo you want.) LOL away!
