Sure you may be excited to see distant family members on Thanksgiving, but for many, the best event of the season is Friendsgiving: There’s good food, company you actually want to be with, and more laughs and less stress. And because you’re probably going to see some beloved faces you don’t get to see as often as you’d like, you have to make sure to capture the event and memories with a memorable Friendsgiving photo and caption. These are the pictures your future kids will find and laugh at how young you all look. They'll point out the people they know call "auntie" and "uncle" and marvel at the questionable hairstyles and outfits you’re all sporting. They'll ask you about the day, and you’ll be able to remember that it was a day filled with love, laughs, and too many food-related snafus thanks to your charming captions. Memories will be documented because you took the time to think of something cute and witty to say. It's important.

So without further ado, here are some fun Friendsgiving caption ideas to share on Instagram, TikTok, or whatever your social media platform of choice may be.
