For answering this question I need to know if you are going the the Bar Mitzvah or not.
Usually in a Bar Mitzvah There is a ceremony with a party, and then it's customary to bring a present and not just a card.
If you are not going to the Bar Mitzvah ceremony you can only send a card.
Should you go to the Bar Mitzvah or not?
It's totally up to you and how close you are with the family.
Just like you did when you asked the question: Bat Mitzvah.
Bar mitzvah literally translates as 'son of mitzvah'. This is when a male Jew is considered old enough to take on the religious responsibilities of an adult male. According to Judaism, 13 is when a boy is old enough to take on these responsibilities and he is a bar mitzvah on his 13th birthday.
Confirmation is completely unrelated to a bar mitzvah. A bar mitzvah is simply a Jewish boy's 13th birthday at which point he is considered old enough to take on the religious responsibilities of a Jews adult such as publicly reading from the Torah and fasting.
A Jewish boy's 13th birthday (on the Jewish calendar) is the only requirement for him to become a bar mitzvah. In regard to celebrating the boy becoming a bar mitzvah, the main part his his being called up to read from the Torah for the first time.
Thank you for your generous gift on the occasion of my Bar Mitvah.
A Jewish boy becomes a bar mitzvah on his 13th birthday. This does not require a formal ceremony. The ceremony people are most familiar with is to celebrate the boy becoming a bar mitzvah, it doesn't make him one.
The Bar Mitzvah is a Jewish ceremony where a boy becomes a man on his 13'Th birthday. Aqiqah is a Muslim ceremony welcoming the birth of a child. Actually, it would be better to compare Aqiqah to a Bris Millah than to a Bar Mitzvah.
A Jewish boy automatically becomes a bar mitzvah on his 13th birthday, no ceremony is required.

Bar Mitzvah
well t doesn't have to be celebrated, as soon as the boy has his 13th Hebrew birthday he is a Bar Mitzvah, the celebration is just kinda a nice thing to do
