When you're in a relationship, every milestone is worth celebrating. Whether it's been a month or five years, time with your partner is special and shouldn't go unnoticed. Posting about your partner on Instagram isn't just so all your friends can comment "#couplegoals" under your photo, it's a great way to show the world how much you appreciate your partner (just make sure it's not the only way you show your affection, it's important to communicate and share your feelings in private too).

A sweet way to show how much you care and honor your anniversary is with a well-thought-out post on social media (though who doesn't love also getting an anniversary gift?). If you post your boo thing on Instagram all the time or you're using your anniversary as the perfect time to hard launch your relationship, we've got caption ideas to take the guess work out of writing the perfect anniversary post.

1

"Snap streak: 365"

Celebrate the numerical milestones in your relationship. Maybe it's a simple caption that just says "1 year" or a detailed list of numbered feats like "64 Facetime calls, 14 trips to the beach, six months together." Because if you've really kept your Snap streak going, that's something to celebrate.

Whatever the two of you love doing together, shout out your favorite person to do it with in honor of your anniversary. "I can't wait for another year of hunting for our favorite Squishmallows at the mall together."

Share a line from a song that describes how you feel about your favorite person or the song the two of your can't stop listening to. When all else fails, you can always find how you're feeling in a Taylor Swift quote.

Share your sentimental side and write a paragraph (or two) about the things you love about the person you're with and what the last year has been like. We're not saying you need to pour all your feelings out on the internet (some things are best left private), but this is a great way to celebrate your person if they're someone who likes PDA. If they're not big into Instagram, keep it private and save the love letter for inside a card.

Choose your favorite photo and let it inspire your Instagram caption. Have a cute picture of you both at McDonalds? "Ba da ba ba ba, I'm lovin' you." Eating a slice of pizza? "You stole a pizza my heart this year." Get creative with it.

A picture is worth a thousand words so if you don't feel like saying much more than that, a one-word caption can say it all. Whether it's describing how you feel on your anniversary like "joy " "happy," "love," or it's as simple as "anniversary," a short and sweet caption will keep the attention on your adorable photo. Though with how cute you are together, you might as well make it a carousel post of your favorite pics.
