A bridal shower is a party where you invite female friends and family (that are invited to the wedding) to an afternoon party. You serve food, you have a cake, the bride to be opens her presents. The whole point of a shower is to shower the couple with gifts. Normally the attendants and possibly the MOB pay for the shower.
A bachelorette party is where you invite female friends and family out to a bar or to Vegas for drinking and strippers and other debauchery. Normally you don't invite your Grandma or Mom, although I've seen both attend. Presents are involved but sometimes penis shaped straws are. Everyone pays for themselves at a bachelorette party, although the bride really shouldn't have to buy her own drinks.

You are required to throw a bachelorette party and a bridal shower?
It is your wedding and you are not required to do anything you do not want to do. In some instances the bachelorette party is thrown by someone besides the bride. The bride should definitely not be expected to throw a bridal shower, but a close friend should.
Does one have to attend both the bachelorette party and the bridal shower?
If you are invited to both and you are a close friend (some relatives are friends) it is your choice. If the Maid of Honor has the poor taste to invite the same group to the Bridal Shower and the Bachelorette Party and the above does not apply, it is your call. Personally if the latter were the case, I would not attend.
