Who do you normally gift with flowers for shavuos? And do you send flowers to your machatonim?

I'd love to sent to my children's inlaws. Is this idea weird?

No not weird. We don't get anyone but would be quite pleased to receive as a gift...
Any effort towards your children's in laws will bring good feelings between the couple. You can't lose.

Nobody.
When my dc were in school, their school ran a shavuos flowers project as a fundraiser, so I'd buy for a couple of immediate family members who lived nearby, but then the project was discontinued.

I send cheesecakes not flowers but I hope this isn't becoming another mandatory shalach manos that we all have to conform to.

OP, I think it's a lovely idea. It wouldn't be seen as weird- it would be received happily. And it could be a small, nice bouquet or whatever- doesn't need to be grand.

Funny I was just coming on here to ask the same question.
I used to give flowers from my sons yeshiva fundraiser to my machatanim that lived close by and they gave me cake because they are great bakers.
For some reason that stopped.
Now my son is engaged and the girls family lives close by so I am thinking of sending flowers but I dont want to make it a think I must do every year.

I think if you send during the engagement then there won't be an expectation to receive every year. During the engagement is different

Do you send cheesecakes to all your machatonim?

It's really nice!
My parents have 6 mechutanim, one of them is very wealthy and they always send things to my parents, like a cake, chocolates or flowers every time my parents make a simcha, a grand shalachmanos, etc.
My parents really appreciate it! Although they don't send back to them more than what they give to other mechutanim.

It's a nice idea to send to machatonim. It's not a must, but it's a nice gesture during the engagement. It doesn't mean that you must do it each year. If you want to, you definitely CAN do it each year if you like.
