Tips for Using Funny Grandparents Day Captions

If you’re planning to use one of these captions on Instagram, TikTok, or a card, here are a few tips to make it even better:

• Pair with an old-school photo. Nothing beats a grainy pic of your grandparents looking fly in the 70s.

• Use emojis—but sparingly. Especially if your grandparents don’t “get” them. It adds to the fun.

• Include a funny quote from them. Grandparents are known for their hilarious one-liners. Use one!

• Print it out. Turn a funny caption into a cute card or gift tag.
