Issues with picking my maids

in Wedding Party
I have four pretty close friends but my FI and I decided that we don't want huge wedding parties and he is only having two best men so out of my four girls I have picked the two I couldnt imagine not being in my party. But Im afraid of the other twos' reactions to the news. I have been trying to figure out other ways to incorperate them in the wedding but I can't come up with any ideas. Any ideas would be wonderful.

    4 is not a huge party.  If you want them, have them.  Your numbers don't have to be even. Any other "jobs" are just that- jobs.  If you don't want them standing next to you, have them sit in front of you.

    Just because you saw it on Four Weddings, doesn't mean it's a good idea.

    Your wedding is over 2 years away. Slow your roll and don't ask anybody until 6-9 months out. And you don't have to have a symmetrical wedding party anyway.

    A lot can change in two years, wait a while. Who knows, down the road you might have someone else you couldn't imagine not being there or your future hubby might add 5 guys to the party. It's way to soon to be in the wedding party selection stage.

    I agree, I'd wait.  Even if you still are considering the same people, time will probably help you make your decision.  There are so many "I wish I'd never asked this girl to be in my wedding!  help!" posts on here, we wouldn't want you to be in that situation.

    I agree with the PPs that say to wait, you never know if your relationships are going to change in that time...

    Holy Moly.  Apparently I need to start paying attention to signatures. 2 years?!  Yeah, DON'T pick now!  6-9 months is a good rule to follow.
    I sure hope you haven't asked anyone yet
