Let’s face it: Mother’s Day pretty much corners the market on any May holidays that celebrate mommas. And that’s why you may or may not have heard about Stepmother’s Day. That’s right, while Mother’s Day might be the second Sunday of May, Stepmother’s Day follows right afterwards, on the third Sunday of the month. So if you’re celebrating a stepmom who has been like a mom to you (or treats your children like her own), show her some social media love with a Stepmother’s Day Instagram caption that will make her feel special.

Stepmoms have often gotten a bad rap, but that’s kind of unfair, really. There are plenty of women who take on the responsibility of raising children from previous marriages — and do so marvelously. And for those stellar stepmoms, they should be acknowledged for all that they do, starting with some Stepmother’s Day Instagram captions, like the ones below.

Simple Stepmother’s Day Instagram captions

  • Happy Stepmother’s Day!
  • May you be celebrated today and always. Happy Stepmother’s Day.
  • Any woman can be a mother, but it takes someone special to be a stepmom.
  • You don’t just complete my dad’s life; you add a special touch to mine, too. Happy Stepmother’s Day.
  • You’re like a second mom to me.

Loving Stepmother’s Day Instagram captions

  • I am so happy that you are a part of our family.
  • I couldn’t have asked for a better “mom.” Happy Stepmother’s Day to you.
  • Marriage brought us together, but being a family is just what’s in our hearts.
  • We were meant to be a family. Happy Stepmother’s Day!
  • We love you dearly.
  • Our family is complete now, because of you.
  • Families are made in the heart, as is ours.

Grateful Stepmother’s Day Instagram captions

  • A stepmom is a woman who knows it won’t be easy, but is brave enough to give love a chance. Thanks for taking a chance on us.
  • Thank you for everything that you do for our family.
  • Family means so much… especially when you get to celebrate it with someone as special as you.
  • You’ve always been by my dad/mom’s side. Today I want to let you know that I’m right by your side.
  • We aren’t just “step;” we’re just family.
  • In life, we take steps to having a better life. You’re a step I’m grateful for.
  • Parenthood requires love, not DNA.
  • You didn’t give me the gift of life. Life gave me the gift of you.
  • Thank you for always “stepping” up for us.
  • Family isn’t blood. It’s the people who love you. The people who have your back. Thanks for always having mine.

On Stepmother’s Day, let the world know (or just your Insta followers) your appreciation for the woman who is such an important part of your family. And maybe, the idea of a bonus mom can be seen as the blessing that it truly is.
