25 Funny Captions For Finally Posting Your New SO’s Face On Instagram

Ah, the soft launch. Is there anything better than posting not-so-subtle pictures of your significant other in the lead-up to your IG Official relationship announcement? Kidding, but there is a legit reason why the soft launch tends to feel easier than posting about your relationship right off the bat. When you’re keeping things vague (and keeping your partner faceless), there’s less risk involved should things fizzle out.

Dr. Daryl Johnson, Ph.D., psychologist and couples therapist, previously told Elite Daily that soft-launching can “feel like you're testing the waters with this person, and while you want the world to know, you aren't sure how far you guys will go.” But once you feel confident enough in where you two stand (and you’ve had an open conversation about the role of social media in your relationship), it might be time to post a picture that — gasp! — actually includes your SO’s face.

I’ll be honest: The timing is definitely the trickiest part of the hard launch, but it’s not the only challenge. Once you and your SO have decided to take the leap into IG Official territory, picking a caption for the post is almost as difficult and as nerve-racking.

IMO, humor is a great way to cope with early relationship butterflies. So if you’re ready to move on to that next step and reveal your SO to the world, these 25 funny captions for finally posting your new partner on IG are the way to do it.
