bowel prep
I think it depends on how involved your bowel prep is. I only had to drink one bottle of magnesium citrate. I was in a similar situation because my son's play was the night before my surgery. (It had been re-scheduled due to snow.) I did my bowel prep around noon and was okay for the play. But, I can tell you that I was wiped out and the play was only an hour and a half. If the Bat Mitzvah party is a dinner/dance it might not be as easy. Plus, you wouldn't be able to eat anything after the prep. I loaded up on clear liquids and was still pretty dehydrated.

bowel prep
When I did my bowel prep, the safest thing for me to do was to stay at home. I had to drink the liquid they gave me in the morning and at night; the second one wasn't as bad as the first in regards to urgency. Still, if I were you, I'd sit at a table closest to the restroom. Oh, and make sure you drink plenty of water to avoid dehydration.

bowel prep
When I've done bowel preps, I have to say I wouldn't have wanted to go anywhere after I started the process. Not only may you still be feeling "effects" for hours, but you may just plain old not feel well, and the smell of the food may be too much to bear.
If I were you, I'd send regrets and a lovely gift -- but skip the party. Offer to take your niece somewhere special when you're fully recovered.
