90 Wedding Instagram Captions for Guests

Attending a wedding never gets old: Who doesn’t love having an excuse to get dressed up, enjoy good food and drinks with their family members and friends, and celebrate the love shared between one of their favorite couples? When you’re part of a day so special, it makes sense that you’d want to share the event with everyone you know, and weddings—with their beautiful décor and party-ready atmosphere—are perfect fodder for social media posts.

So, how do you make your social media snapshot stand out amongst all the rest? With an excellent caption, of course! If you’re not sure which Instagram caption to use on your celebratory post, we’re here to help. And while we have you covered on what to say when you’re ready to post, we also want to gently remind you that when you post should be carefully considered, too; remember that it’s considered proper etiquette and good form to wait until the couple of the hour has shared their photos on their feeds first, before following suit.

Think of it this way: That waiting period just gives you more time to prepare the perfect wedding Instagram caption. Whether you’re celebrating a sibling, best friend, cousin, or work acquaintance, we’re sharing 90 Instagram caption ideas for wedding guests that are far more exciting than a basic “Congratulations.”
