I personally wouldn't ask her this late, especially considering your current party size. Is there another way to honor her, perhaps by letting her do a reading?
I don't think its too late. Even though you've been engaged since July, your wedding is still pretty far away. I was engaged for a long time before I asked my bridesmaids (I think it was like 6 months). I'm sure she'd rather be asked now than not at all.
Wow I was just reading another post from a few months ago, that is almost identical to yours! And I agree with everyone's advice from that one. One more person is not going to make a difference. Seven is already quite a few, and I don't think 8 is going to make any difference. Except in that you will have someone in your wedding who means a lot to you and who you really want in it. Sounds like you will regret it if you don't end up asking her.
And as far as her being offended by being asked later, some people don't start planning right away. As far as she knows, maybe you are just now deciding on your entire wedding party? Ask her!!! 
if you want to ask her, i'd ask her. you don't want regrets on the wedding day, you should have the people you want up there with you. i wouldn't be offended if i was asked a little late, i'd just be happy to be asked at all. i was actually just asked a few months late because my friend thought i assumed that i knew i'd be in the wedding party. of course i don't assume that! i didn't care though, after she told me i was happy to be a part of her wedding.
It is a lot of bridesmaids! But if you love them all then why not. How do you feel about your FI not having the exact # of GM as you have BM. Although we had the same # it wasn't a big deal as most of the BM except for the MOH and best man sat down for most of the ceremony, it was catholic. And for pictures you could always have the men and women in spots so it doesn't look too uneven.

Ok bees, I have been thinking about this for maybe the past 3 months..so my bridal party consists so far, of 6 bridesmaids, and 1 MOH...fiance is still undecided whether he wants to make both his brothers his best men, or just 1..so he could tentatively have 2 Best Men, and 5 GM, or 1 Best Man and 6 GM...there is 1 friend that i so badly want to ask, but fiance was kind of upset cuz the party was getting huge (in his opinion)..but he said i could do whatever i want and that he didn't really care about it anymore..so i kind of feel bad about it, but i want to ask her...
now, we've been engaged since july...if i ask her now, or if i wait a little bit longer then ask her, do you think it's going to offend her cuz i didn't ask her right away?? i don't know if i'm thinking too much, but how would you feel if u got asked a few months after ur friend got engaged??
