Make Your Congratulations Personal and Useful
Begin with what she has told you. If she is excited to work with a new team, mention that. If the change follows a long search, recognize her patience without turning the message into a retelling of a difficult period. Leave private details out of a public post.
First day at work encouragement for a daughter-in-law works best when it leaves room for an ordinary learning curve. Instead of predicting that everyone will love her immediately, wish her helpful colleagues, clear expectations, and time to settle in. Send the message before or after work rather than expecting a response during the day.
If you want to offer practical help, make a specific offer you can genuinely carry out and let her decline easily. A meal or an errand may be welcome, but ask rather than assuming.

Can these messages come from a mother-in-law or father-in-law?
Yes. Choose the words that reflect your own relationship and usual tone. You can use her name instead of daughter-in-law if that sounds more natural.
Celebrate Her Beginning
