Tips for hoco posts

• Hoco photos age fast, so post them the same weekend. The dance dominates feeds for about two days, and a Tuesday hoco dump lands after everyone has moved on.
• The getting-ready shots and the dance shots work better as separate posts. Splitting them gives you two posts from one night and keeps each carousel to a single mood instead of forty mixed photos.
• Flash photos read best on a dark dance floor. Phone night modes blur moving people, so turn the flash on for dance shots and save night mode for the posed pictures outside.

Hoco week moves fast, so caption your photos while the glitter's still fresh and schedule your Instagram posts to go out over the weekend. For every other theme, browse the full Instagram caption library.
