Getting more from these captions

Ask before you post an elder's photo
Parents and grandparents may not want a public photo. A quick word first keeps the peace and the warm comments.
Use the funny line for the group photo, the warm one for the pair
The group shot invites humour, while a one-on-one photo with a parent calls for something sincere.
Do not post every festival the same way
Change the angle each time. A photo of hands, feet or the dining table gives family posts a fresher feel.

Questions

What counts as a good family quote for Instagram?

Short and warm, with one real detail like the kitchen, the terrace or the dinner table. The short section is a good start.

Are these okay for a joint family post?

Yes. The festivals section speaks about cousins, chairs and kitchen chaos, which suits a joint family well.

Do these work for a Family Day or Mother's Day post?

The parents section works for Mother's Day or Father's Day, and there are separate caption pages for both.

What are good missing family quotes?

Missing family quotes work with one small memory, such as a voice in the kitchen or a seat at the dinner table. Keep it gentle, and send the post to the person you miss.
