Whether you're expecting to be single or attached this coming Feb. 14, I don't have a lot of confidence in your ability to stay completely off of social media for Valentine's Day. This is in no way a judgement of your character... it's simply a conclusion that I can't help but draw based on the Instagram and Twitter obsession I witness around me every single day. Why should Valentine's Day be any different? What this really means is that even if you're not looking for sappy relationship posts and musings about the true meaning of love on Feb. 14, you're gonna get them — so you might as well be prepared with some content of your own. To that end, I've collected 25 Valentine's Day Instagram captions that you can use when you're feeling overwhelmed by rampant heart eye emojis taking over your feed.
There should be something here you can use whether you're celebrating alone or with an S.O. this year, plus something suited to the exact level of snark that you're trying to achieve. I can't help you with tributes to your significant other, but hopefully these ideas can stand in for anyone not trying to get too personal with Insta on V-Day. (And that, if I do say so myself, deserves a heart eye emoji.)
