Tips

How to caption a date night post.

• Let the photo carry the food. The caption is for the feeling; the plate is already in the picture.
• Name one true detail. The table you always ask for, the dessert you fought over — it reads warmer than “perfect night”.
• Keep inside jokes short. One line only the two of you get is sweet. A paragraph of them is a private message.
• Ask before you post. Not everyone wants their dinner — or their face — online.
• Tag the restaurant, so the next couple can find it.

Keep it

Keep the dates, not just the post.

The post is one photo. The relationship is hundreds of dinners. Snap the table in PlateDiary and every dish is cut out on your phone and kept with the place, the date and who you were with — add them once as a companion and every meal reads “with Ana”. Their page gathers your first meal together, the dishes you always order and every place you have shared, so the next anniversary caption writes itself. For where to go, see our food date ideas.
