My fiance's brother is getting married soon, and I am going up there for the wedding. While there I would like to spend some quality time with his mom. However, my time there will be limited. I will get there Friday night, go to the rehearsal dinner, the wedding will be on Saturday, my fiance and I will be leaving town on Sunday late afternoon/evening. I would like to be able to do something with her Sunday early afternoon as she has plans on Saturday morning. Do you think this is too close to the wedding and she will not want to go out? If you think it would be okay to go, where should we go? I thought about a spa, but there is only one spa where they live and it is very spendy. I also thought about lunch, but her morning plans include eating. Any ideas? Thanks!

She may be needing a rest after all the excitement and may not want to commit to anything. She'll need to de-stress. If you are staying at a hotel, why not walk the grounds with her, sit by the pool or fireplace and have a drink (or coffee even) and just enjoy a 1/2 hour or so? I can tell you, the best time with her may actually be helping with the wedding! there is always something that needs doing. I spent a lot of time with my mother-in-law at a recent wedding, just by helping out.
Otherwise, if she is pushing back on making a commitment, honor the fact that she is just plain tuckered out and it's not you, its the timing.

It is a wedding for her son and she will be very busy and seems to have planes just because thats the way weddings are.But if you are staying at her home you could maybe have a cup of coffee with her and tell her after the wedding you would like to come for a visit and plane a special day for the both of you so you could get to know each other better Iam sure she will love the thought because after the wedding she is going to need to unwinded and with your wedding comeing up you will need it to.Plane a whole day and enjoy your self.It can really be fun my daughters-in-laws and I get along great.We talk about everything and always plane days out

A massage at a spa or a facial would be a great idea. make sure you ask her before making reservations.
Another idea would be to go with her when she gets her hair done for the wedding or have a nice manicure together.
I'm sure she will be busy for the wedding, but I'm sure she would be happy to spend time with her new relatives too.
You might just let her know that you would like to spend some time together and have her suggest an activity...

She will probably have a lot going on because of the wedding. Maybe you should call her in advance & mention to her that the day after the wedding you would like to have breakfast or lunch with her.

A spa is a great idea to know you inlaws!! She will be relaxed and able to talk about a lot of things. If that doesn't work try to schedule some other time to go up there or invite her down by you. Hope this helps!!!

Take her to Brunch. Perfect idea for a Sunday Late morning.

It seems to be a busy weekend! I would suggest the two of you visit a coffee shop one afternoon or even take a walk to check out local scenery. Just opt for something quick in case she has limited time.

honestly it's a/b the bride this weekend. i would wait until after this wedding and then plan on visiting when it's appropriate. see if she can come and visit you all so you can get to know her but now is not that time. best wishes.
