Avoid the words 'soulmate' and 'forever' unless you absolutely mean them — they read as cliché otherwise. The best Valentine's captions sound like a text, not a card. Keep them short.

Frequently asked

Valentine's caption for boyfriend or husband?

'still my favorite text.' Or 'my person, my problem, my preference.' Sweet but specific, not Hallmark.

Funny single Valentine's caption?

'roses are red, my standards are high, you'll never see me cry, on february 14, anyway.' Self-deprecating beats bitter every year.
