Fathers somehow have this magical ability to make you feel better about anything. When mom says no, you can somehow always convince dad to try to get her to change her mind — and no matter how much he rolls his eyes, he's usually always ready to give you those few extra bucks you need. So it's only right you shower him with lots of love on Father's Day 2022, which falls on Sunday, June 19 this year.

Whether you take him to the movies, host a backyard barbecue so he can flex his grilling skills, or surprise him with one of the coolest Father's Day gifts ever, the day won't be complete without a cute photo of you and your dad. Your selfie's caption is the perfect opportunity to let your dad knows how much he means to you and put a smile on his face.

And if you can't be with your dad in person this year, sharing a throwback picture is a perfect way to let him know you care and that you're thinking of him. Getting the caption just right can be as complicated as deciding what to write on his card, so we gathered up options from funny quips to sweet music lyrics. Here's a list of Father's Day Instagram captions you absolutely can't go wrong with.
