Mother's day (mother in law)

I’m getting married in less then 2 months. Mother’s day is around the corner and I want to do something nice for my mil. I’ve only spoken to her 3 times, once over the phone and twice in person, I’m scared that sending her flowers or something on mothers day will seem awkward because we don’t really have a relationship, I’ve been engaged for almost 6 months and she lives in another country.
What would you do?

How does her family handle Mothers’ Day? Do her children acknowledge it and give her flowers, etc.? If yes, then you should stick to your original plan and send her whatever you think is best. If this isn’t the norm in their family, then just send something later and call her instead for now.

All these ‘she has no relation to you right now’ advices are disturbing. Going with that logic, the guy has no relation to you right now either. Did you still expect something on your birthday and/or valentine’s day?
