ICYMI, Father’s Day is coming in hot (mark your calendar for Sunday, June 18). It’s almost that one time a year when you *finally* get sappy with the most authentic and modern expression of love to exist: an Instagram post (obvi). Okay, yeah—you could easily buy him a thoughtful Father’s Day gift, but why not also share your appreciation for the man who put up with your teenage angst with a good ole’ fashion grid post? Because truly, nothing says “Dad, I love forever and ever” more than a perfectly-captioned social media shoutout.

There’s a good chance you’d rather caption all of your fire selfie pics before tackling a sentimental post of Dad. Like, sure, you can always go the basic dad joke route, but I think it’s time to step things up when it comes to showing some love to the man who raised you. Of course, showcasing your love for Pops in a single sentence is much easier said than done, so we’ve rounded up 75 Father’s Day caption ideas to help inspire your post. Feel free to peruse and fully plagiarize them all!

Oh, and it doesn’t matter if he’s on social media or if he still groans every time you try to make him an IG account. Just tack on a “To my favorite guy who still won’t get on Instagram:” before any of these captions, and I promise you’ll be good as gold.
