For better or worse, one solid graduation caption can look vastly different from another solid one. After all, with so many feelings and memories wrapped up, where do you start? Here are some topics you can reference in your graduation post:
Jokes about the struggle (of that 8 a.m. class, your major or the required courses, for starters)Shout-outs to favorite teachers, friends or memoriesPuns with words like “cap” or “grad”Words that rhyme with “cap,” “gown,” “graduation” or “tassel”Inspirational quotesAn encouraging Bible verseFitting song lyricsSomething that encouraged you or got you to this pointWhat you’re looking forward to, or what’s ahead on your journeyHow Do You End a Graduation Caption?
Once you’ve got your caption topic down, you still might wonder how to end the caption itself. And again, consider what feels right to you and your style. This might be:
Punctuation or no punctuationOne emoji or a few (examples: hearts the color of your school, a graduation cap, a party emoji, a light or star emoji, your school’s mascot emoji, a calendar, a clock, the numbers of the year you’re graduating, etc.)A hashtag or a few (examples: #classof2025, #graduated, #graduation, #wedidit, #classof2029, or, let’s be real, #helpme)Or something else entirely!With that said, let’s get into some specific examples of caption ideas you’re free to steal (yup, seriously!).Related: #AllTheLikes: 300 Instagram Captions That Will Get Those Followers Liking Your Feed
