For fans of pumpkin spice lattes, cozy knit sweaters, and fiery foliage, the shift from summer to fall evokes a deep sigh of re-leaf. Not only does the first day of fall call for the return of favorite autumn recipes, but the funniest fall puns! That means pumpkin-spiced puns, unbeliev-apple-ly clever puns, and even cute fall puns that are nothing but gourd vibes.
Drop off your honey's morning coffee with a note letting them know you "like them a latte." Picking pumpkins? Your crew will get a kick out of the question, "Orange you glad it's fall?" The ideas ahead are also great puns for fall Instagram captions and event invitations! Couples can write something like "Don’t tell anyone, but I think I’m falling for you." Or, take a picture atop a hay ride, and caption it something simple like "Hay there!"
Yes, these fall puns are cheesy—but they're cute and hilarious nonetheless! In fact, they'll probably make you want to shout "Fall-elujah."
