Use these tips to write thoughtful captions for Father's Day.

• How can I make the best Father's Day captions about wisdom for Instagram? Focus on the emotion when you’re writing Father’s Day captions for Instagram and your other social media posts. Ask yourself: how do you want your papa to feel, or what would make him happy? Will he want to be reminded of fun times from your childhood or is he more likely to feel grateful if you thank him for his guidance. Whatever the scenario, tap into the kind of emotion you want to convey and find a message that fits the sentiment.

• What is the right size for Instagram posts? The recommended size for a square Instagram post is 1080 x 1080, while portrait is 1080 x 1350 and a landscape post is 1080 x 566. For Instagram Stories, the recommended size is 1080 x 1920. Adobe Express can help with these sizes – simply filter for Instagram, and you’ll see templates in the size you need.
