Valentine's Day may seem like it's a day all about romantic love, but I like to look at the holiday as a time to celebrate friends too. Instead of just dedicating the day to an S.O. (or yourself!), you can commemorate your friendship with dinner reservations, a picnic in the park, or even a movie date. You just need the perfect Valentine's Day Instagram captions about friendship for your BFF posts.
Some people began calling a Valentine's Day celebration with friends "Galentine's Day" after Parks and Recreation main character Leslie Knope coined the term to describe the day before V-Day that she spends with her best friends. “Every February 13, my lady friends and I leave our husbands and our boyfriends at home, and we just come and kick it, breakfast-style. Ladies celebrating ladies. It’s like Lilith Fair, minus the angst. Plus frittatas," Knope famously says. And afterwards, Galentine's Day became a hit on social media as well. Today, there are more than half a million posts with the hashtag #galentinesday on Instagram, all depicting different pictures of women celebrating the romantic holiday with their closest gal-pals. But whether you celebrate your friends on Feb. 13 or Feb. 14, your V-Day date (or dates) deserve to be celebrated on your Instagram.
Here are 15 captions you can use for your Valentine's Day bestie-appreciation posts.

"Ovaries before brovaries." — Leslie Knope
Nobody's a greater advocate for "Galentine's Day" than Leslie Knope. And this quote about her best friends is the perfect toast you need on Valentine's Day.

Who better to get friendship-caption-inspo from than the characters on Friends? Using this for a caption on Valentine's Day is fun especially if you're not in a relationship at the moment. It's your way of saying that no matter who is in your life, your best friends will always be there for you and vice versa.
