Bridesmaids & Wedding Party?

I'm getting married next year, and plan on asking my friends to be bridesmaids come January/February. I'm planning on 6 bridesmaids, but I have 4 girlfriends that I absolutely love and want included. However, I don't want 10 bridesmaids to stand up there! I want to give bridesmaid gift boxes when I ask and I wanted to give gift boxes to those 4 girls as well asking them to be in the "wedding party" or being the "I Do Crew". Would that come across to them as asking them to be bridesmaids? I was going to include a letter in their box explaining that I wanted them to come to the bach party, get dressed with us that day & be included in everything they just don't stand up there. How do I word that? Has anyone else seen this done?

I did something like this! it was a huge hit. I only had 2 bridesmaids (my best friend and my sister-in-law) and then I asked 6 of my other closest friends to be my "friends of honor." all but one of these ladies live out of town, and I wanted them to be a special part of my day without them feeling any pressure on top of traveling here. this is how I invited them! we all got ready together, took photos together, and they sat in a special reserved row in the front of our ceremony. and no, I did not "put any of them to work" like the commenters above are saying. my friends all LOVED this idea and they all even expressed their gratefulness that they weren't required to do all the "traditional bridesmaid responsibilities." if you've been in more than a few weddings, YOU FEEL ME.
