Steps
How to Write Your Own Cousin Caption for Instagram
-
Express your genuine emotions. Think about how much you love your cousin and communicate those feelings clearly. Your writing doesn’t have to be flowery, but can easily touch their hearts with some authenticity and love. What you’ll send up with is a very special message your cousin will always remember and be thankful for.
-
Use humor to be entertaining. Since your cousin isn’t the only one reading your Instagram captions, it’s good to be funny so everyone can enjoy your words. Joke around with your cousin in a way they’ll understand, but make your caption clear so it’s not only successful with one person. Your audience (especially your cousin) will love everything you say and laugh out loud.
-
Choose words that are appropriate to the photo. When posting a photo with your caption on Instagram, make sure your words match up correctly. Don’t show a road trip photo when you want to offer birthday wishes for your cousin or bring up a memory of when you were little while posting a recent photo. Be sure your words work with the image so your cousin and others stop and look at what you’ve posted.
-
Bring up personal shared memories. You have a ton of sweet, funny, and interesting memories you’ve shared with your cousin over the years. Use your favorite one to express how long it took for you to get your cousin to like you. It may involve family get-togethers, private talks, or time spent goofing around. Whatever memory you choose, be sure it’s one your cousin will want to read about and be ok for others to read as well.
-
Keep your captions short and sweet. Long, drawn-out Instagram captions never do as well as brief, snappy ones do. You don’t need to write a long paragraph. Instead, focus on a sentiment, event, memory, or idea you want to share about your cousin. From one-word captions to short ones using smiley faces, you have a lot of choice here to make it special in a few words.
- Include hashtags if you want others to see more of your message to your cousin. Emojis are also a fun and colorful way to liven up your captions about your cousins on Instagram.
