How To Write Your Own Thanksgiving Captions

Maybe the captions provided above have sparked your creativity, motivating you to craft your very own. If so, great! There are a few bits of advice that can help you write a turkey-riffic caption:

  • Use playful wording, like turkey-riffic.
  • Invoke Thanksgiving with words that encapsulate the holiday like thankful, turkey, gobble, wobble, dinner, family, friends, love, etc.
  • Write from the heart—you can be funny, sweet, serious, or whatever you’d like. If you’re not having a good day or Thanksgiving tends to bring up negative feelings, write about that. Many people would relate to that and appreciate you sharing your thoughts.
