For answering this question I need to know if you are going the the Bar Mitzvah or not.

Should you go to the Bar Mitzvah or not? It's totally up to you and how close you are with the family.

The bar mitzvah you refer to is probably not actually THE bar mitzvah. That is a ceremony during the service held in the synagogue on a Shabbat (Saturday) morning when best clothes should be worn.
