Yes, it's the polite thing to do. Unless you don't mind that they might be upset at the exclusion. Of course, you can always invite them to just the reception instead of the whole ceremony.

it's all well and good to say it's your wedding do what you want, but after the wedding is over there may be consequences. If you are having a small wedding then no. But if it's a larger size then be prepared to not have a relationship with those people afterwards. Depends on what sort of people they are. Are they likely to be offended? I've had this very discussion about inviting my uncles wife. She's an alcoholic, but he's awesome. Eeek!

For the most part, yes. Unless your wedding is a very small one with only family and the closest of friends, you are obligated to return the invitation.
If you don't have a very small wedding, and you don't invite that person, you could lose a friend. Are you ready to burn that bridge?
Some believe if that person didn't acknowledge your presence at their wedding with a thank you card, then you don't have to invite them to your wedding. However, do you want to sink to that level and become just as rude?
If it doesn't feel right in your soul, and if someone did it to you and you'd feel
offended, then don't do it.
If you don't mind being labeled inconsiderate and rude, then go for it!

That depends,
if they had a big huge wedding and invited everyone they knew,
and you are having a small family affair, then NO.
If their wedding was of equal size as yours is going to be then you proabably should.

Not really. It would normally be considered polite, but, if you have the average wedding, there's going to be a TON of people. You will only have to see them like once and it won't be a big deal. Plus, you get a present! hehe

No. It's your wedding. Do what you want. But the other person is probably going to feel hurt. Do you really want that?

No. Invite only those with whom you want to share this special moment.

Not necessarily. It depends on you. If you feel obliged to or pressed to do it, well, just do it. But if you don't you'll miss a wedding present!

No, I don't think people invite you so they could go to yours too.
