What's the social etiquette on this?

No, you don't have to invite them to yours - for example, even if you both view each other as friends at an equal level, they could be having a big society wedding and you could be having a small family wedding, so it wouldn't be fair to have to invite them.
Etiquette requires that you at least respond to their invite. If you attend, it is polite, but not required, to give a gift of some sort.
When you marry, if it is in the near future, it might be nice to at least send them a wedding announcement after your wedding, even if you don't invite them.

I think it would be polite, especially if your wedding is near. However, sometimes people consider you more friends than you consider them - this happens a lot. So if you don't invite the person - their feelings may be hurt. If you don't want to invite them, for whatever reason, then don't. I mean really, it's your wedding. But keep in mind that one should never burn bridges, you'll never know when you need to go back across it. Good luck.

The social etiquette would be to invite them to yours but it is your wedding so invite who you want. Be prepared for a reaction though.

That is up to you. If you are having a large wedding and you are having a sit down supper than its best to just invite close family and friends to that, but you can invite others to come to the reception.
You can wait till you get married to see how close you are with this person and than make your mind up based on that.

Depends... on your relationship... if the person really would care...were you just filler at theirs?? If they are a real friend... Some people might be pissed. Especially if the wedding were extremely close together.
I would put them on the B list and if someone else cancels then invite them.

No, it doesn't mean you have to invite that person to your wedding. Many things could happen between that wedding and yours. You two could drift apart. If your wedding is to be a small, intimate affair, this friend would understand.

I would invite them as a courtesy.....besides, maybe they won't even be able to make it.
