While you may have a fun virtual birthday celebration planned this year, you can't help but reminisce on the parties of the past. Scrolling through your camera roll, you might be temped to post old snaps and pair them with Instagram captions for throwback birthday pictures. By having the right words ready to go, it'll make sharing seamless.

A throwback birthday picture is always a great way to hype up such a special day. It allows you to share photos you didn't get to upload the first time around. Throwing it back also gives you a chance to travel back in time with your besties — no time machine required.

Whether you post a group pic from your birthday last year or one from when you were a kid, it's basically like an invitation for your friends who were there to comment with their memories. It might even bring back some hilarious inside jokes you totally forgot about. Going on a trip down Memory Lane always brings the crew together, no matter how far apart you are.

So, get your party started by posting some throwback birthday party pictures on the 'gram with any of these 33 captions.
