RSVP by phone

I RSVP'd for a bridal shower to the number on the invitation and
left a message.
I made sure to dial the right number and left my name, etc.
Is that enough? Am I supposed to hear back from the person?

Since they provided the number as being the way to RSVP you
really didn't have a whole lot of choice! So yes. I think what
you did was fine.
Presumably they know they'll be getting lots of those calls and
since you were careful to dial correctly and to speak slowly and
clearly you've done your part. No, they probably won't call you
back. They'll just add you to the list of people who will be
coming.

Do you think it was a mobile phone?
If so I'd ignore the fact that I'd left a voice message already
and text something like "Hi, this is Mary Rain. Thank you for
the invitation to Sylvia's shower on the 15th, I will be
attending. See you then!"
that way you've made two attempts. I think it would be polite
of the recipient to say "Thanks, Mary, see you then!" to close
the loop -- but nothing surprises me these days so don't hold
your breath.

I have always assumed that leaving a message was enough to
consider myself RSVPed. I think of it no different than when I
call and a husband has to take a message for his wife (the
host). Considering my interactions with a few of these husbands,
I think the voicemail might have been preferred!!! =)
If you had any reason to suspect that the message would not be
received, then I might suggest that you try again. But I do not
see any evidence of that!

I agree. I always just leave a message for RSVP's.

Yes. That's enough. I'm assuming that the voice mail message on
the receiving end was enough to identify the owner of that phone
as the same person you are supposed to be replying to.
When I have hosted parties where I'm requesting replies via
telephone or email, I usually do not reply to the reply unless I
have some need for additional communication.

I have never received a reply for the reply and do not think
that it is necessary either.
