Is it customary to get my mother-in-law to be, a mother's day gift or card or anything?

If you get on really,really well and are very close with her you could get her one but if not don't.

Is it customary to get my mother-in-law to be, a mother's day gift or card or anything?
I agree w/ cowgirl, it's a nice gesture. She will feel that she is special to you and I'm sure it would definitely make her day!
Reply:I think it's a nice gesture, and shows you're thinking of her. You can always thank her for having your fiancee, or raising her.
Reply:I don't know if it's customary, but it's a good idea!



You can get her a Mom or Mother card, or a Friend card, or Someone Special, or a card that's for anyone. Put in a personal note saying thanking her for raising her son into the kind of man you'd want to marry!



Do something similar for his father for Father's Day next month. Your thoughtfulness, I suspect, will be appreciated by all!
Reply:yes it as...get her a broomstick
Reply:no way
Reply:no necessarily, but it would be a nice gesture so if i were you i would at least get a card.
Reply:I always did up until we quit talking to each other. Usually we just gave her something from my husband and I, even before we were married. I look at Mothers day as a way to honor all mom's not just yours.
Reply:I would say yes, because it will be your MOTHER in law, And it always looks good. You dont want to start problems before the wedding and she could be hurt. Congrats!!
Reply:No, she's not your mom.
Reply:Yes, get her a lil something. A gift with a card would be nice. If you are not sure get her some flowers, find out which are her favorite and buy her a good big bunch of em.
Reply:Before my husband and I got married we gave my mom something together. His mom is no longer living. This year we are going to do the same thing.
Reply:Yes I would you really want a great relationship with your mother in law. It will only help the marriage and make it easier on you and your husband.
Reply:there is nothing customary about it, but it would be nice if you got her something, to show you respect her as the mother of your bride to be, and it would make your fiance proud if you did, if my fiance did that for my mom, I would have loved him even more then. If you buy her something it will show you think of others, not just yourself. Even a single rose would be nice to give to her with a simple happy mother's day, and watch her smile, and her eyes light up.
Reply:I would get her a gift and a card. It is the right thing to do. I do nt get along with my MIL and I am planning on getting her something. I am a mother now and she does not get me anything,but I make sure my husband has something for her from all of us.
Reply:Hell no it's your mother in law
Reply:It is something that you have to decide for yourself. Is this someone you consider as a mother figure to you?



I use to send my MIL a thankyou not on my husbands birthday.
Reply:i always do it's a nice thing to give
Reply:I did and do..makes a nice impression anyway.
Reply:no way you have to learn to figbht with her
Reply:It would be a very sweet gesture. I think flowers would be nice. I give my mother in law a gift for mothers day.



also, www.theknot.com is a great site for wedding planning, wedding advice (and engagement advice too)
Reply:You don't have to do anything extravagant, but it would be nice to get her at least a card and maybe even a little small gift. It will make a good impression on her, and that could help make the whole in-law thing much more pleasant.
Reply:Depends on the mother, but flowers are probably a nice guesture.
