How late is too late?

So we're 2 months out from the big day. I've decided I really want to ask one of my best friends to stand with me as a bridesmatron. Is it too late to ask her? The only reason I didn't before is because at the time we got engaged and started asking people, I wasn't as close to her. But since then (we have had a pretty long engagement), she and I have become very close. Is it too late to ask her to stand with me?
Note: she is about the same size as my mom. My mom is wearing basically the same style of dress as all my girls. My mom bought 4 dresses because she is very "extra", and is offering my friend's choice to her so she doesn't have to worry about buying one so late.

Oh also, she was already going to come to all the other wedding events such as the bachelorette party and the bridal shower and such.

I don't see an issue with asking! She can always say no but it doesn't sound like you're asking much of her anyway. I'm sure she will be happy you asked.

I don’t think it’s too late at all, unless you’re asking your girls to spend a lot of money for makeup, hair, events etc. & she might not be able to afford it on a short timeline. Since you already have a dress & she was already planning to come to all the events, I don’t think it will be an issue. I’d go for it!

No problem with adding her. Your having become closer is reason enough.

I asked one of my bridesmaid to be in my wedding months after the rest.

Why didn't I ask her at first? Honestly, we weren't as close, she is really young, and I know how much being a bridesmaid costs and didn't want to burden her.

Why did I change my mind? Because she was being an honorary bridesmaid anyways. Offering to help with my parties, make decor, get things ready for my bach trip. We became closer after I got engaged. So I decided that if she was so good to me with her time and ideas and craftiness, that she would obviously be overjoyed to actually have the title too. So I asked, and made it very clear that if it wasn't financially possible, she was in the clear and I wasn't upset. She chose to download budgeting software and figure out how to save up for a dress and the bach trip and everything. Because we are friends and we love each other and want each other to be the happiest we can be.
