I come from a very large family and so does my husband. I am not rich and not super close to all but absolutely text/call a Mazal tov right away depending on the individual. I also buy or chip in for a gift. I like to send food as well-either a meal or even cookies and/or a soup.
I just had a baby and was so touched w every call , gift and food delivery and it made me feel so supported. We all need this after a baby.

My husbands sisters usually send an obligatory text wishing me Mazel tov if anything. Some did, some didn’t. They’re not the type to do more unfortunately, they don’t really have much with me to the point that I wasn’t even greeted at a recent simcha even after I greeted them
I think the answers will depend on family dynamics..my in laws treat daughters in laws like outsiders so even the text would be considered a lot lol
My mother in law doesn’t even visit for MONTHS afterwards so I’m just thankful I have my own family involved bh

I think it's interesting that sending a meal and a gift is listed and referred to as the same category.
To me that's two completely different things
