MOH "duties"

I think I would appreciate seeing a list like this if I had never been in a bridal party before and had no idea what to expect, or what responsibilities they usually (not are not required) to take on.

While none of those are required, if I'm someone's best friend and they've asked me to be their MOH, I'd certainly want to do most of those for them if I am able. 

So I guess the only real problem I have with that list is the word "duties"

This list it stupid. The NUMBER ONE thing is "mental support"? To even have a list is stupid. It assumes way too much including that weddings all fit neatly into certain categories.

I agree with other posters, most of the things on the list are great if MOH offers them but are certainly not required.

All I asked my BP to do was buy a dress from DB in a short design and blue bird color (in their budgets).

Other things that are not on this list but I did need help with were: holding my bouquet during my vows; helping me get my dress bustled and helping me go to the bathroom in my dress. 

I suppose helping the bride go to the bathroom shouldn't be required per se but if you chose these women because they are your nearest and dearest then maybe "duties" are called for when duty calls (sarcasm). 

That list is chock full of bullshit, but I do think holding the brides bouquet is a legit responsibility of the MOH and am surprised that (and bustling, although MOBs do that a lot too) were left off.  Other than that it's the same as being a BM, just show up sober in the dress and smile in the pictures.
