It is okay to talk directly to the parent of the house your daughter will stay at. Ask the parent who will be there? Will an adult be home all the time during the sleep over? How many girls will be there (safety in numbers). Will there be boys (invited, or brothers in the house)? Will the girls go somewhere together (the mall, food court, etc)?

But also ask, How can I help? Can I bring any snacks? May I help order pizzas? Etc.

What time should I pick my daughter up?

If your daughter is making all the plans and not letting you be involved, that sounds bad (depending on the age of the daughter, perhaps).

imho

Thank you. I'm a little concerned if it's rude to ask the parents about who stay at the house during the sleep over.

No, it is an acceptable question. Just ask politely, like you are curious and loving parent.

You know the situation better then I can possibly know. If you trust the family, good. But if you do not know anything about the family, it is your right to ask questions.

Your daughter will likely have fun. This is a common activity for American children.

Edit: by offering to provide food or help out, you are making it seem less rude when you ask the questions. 😉
