Attending bachlorette party, a little nervous

My fiance's brother's fiance's sister (there has GOT to be an easier way to say that) invited me to the bachelorette party a few days before the wedding. I was really happy that she invited me since I've only met the bride to be twice and don't know her all that well. But the only thing is the invite didn't give much information, and I'm a little nervous about what to expect. The party is in Colorado, which is where the wedding is, and I live in Los Angeles and am actually flying out a day earlier to make it to the bachelorette party. But all the invite said was what day it was and to meet at their house (no address listed). I e-mailed her to RSVP and ask for more data but she hasn't responded. I just don't know if I need to bring a gift, if so what would be appropriate, I don't know any of the other girls invited, I don't know if we're going out partying or staying in, I don't know if it's going to be more adult or more g-rated, and most importantly I don't actually know how much money to contribute as I assume the invitees need to contribute to the expenses. Any thoughts?

    Not all of the invitess contribute to the expenses of the party. Only the hosts do. If you go out and you wish to buy the bride-to-be a drink, that's all on you.

    You don't have to bring a gift at all if you don't want to. I would wait for more information from them. There are a lot of directions that a bachelorette party can go that would define the answers to the rest of your questions.

     Would it be possible to get a phone number to contact the host of the party?

    Good idea. I'll just e-mail her. I think it'll be fine, it's usually better to lean on the more cautious side.

    If you don't know it's good to have some sort of gift just in case, even a simple candle or bath set.  I was invited to a bachelorette party a couple years ago and the MOH assured me there wouldn't be any presents, just games and such, but sure enough everyone else had brought a gift and there was time set aside at the party for opening them (and of course it was mostly lingerie).  It was one of the most awkward embarassing events I ever sat through since i hadn't brought a thing.
