How does this sound - re: bridal party

So, how does this sound - feasible? FH and I have been having a hard time deciding if we want to have a bridal party at all since it just seems like it adds a lot of stress and expense. Our idea has been to just have a Maid of Honor (my sister), Matron of Honor (FSIL) and two best men, (FBILs) - to keep it intimate. Then, since we are having a wedding mass in church, we would assign to our close friends, who would have been in the bp, jobs for the day - like readings, presenting the gifts, handing out the programs and ushers. This way our bf's are still involved in our wedding and can participate in a way that is really meaninful to us. For some reason something is just irking me about not having a traditional bp. Any advice from brides who are making this same decision and which way you are leaning? Thanks for listening . . .
