If I was invited to a friend’s wedding in 2011, but we don’t really talk anymore, am I required to invite her and her husband to mine? I went to college with the bride and groom, they got married a few years after graduation, and the bride and I kept in touch regularly. We have not had a falling out, life just pulled us apart. We interact with each other on social media, but we don’t have each other’s phone numbers. I just don’t want to offend anyone.

No. Invites are not tit for tat. Pick those nearest and dearest to you who you cannot imagine the day without. Anyone else gets an announcement.

Many couples don't invite people they haven't seen in years. And interact via social media doesn't count LOL.
My fiancee and I won't invite anyone we haven't seen in 2 years.
your wedding is far too busy an event to attempt to rekindle your relationship.
Plus: chances are that if you invite them, your wedding will be the last time you see them.The fact they invited you at their wedding doesn't change anything.

You are under no obligation to invite people to your wedding just because you were invited to theirs.

No. We attended a lot of weddings in the last ten years that we no longer even talk to them so did not invite them to ours!

I'm going to offer a bit of a different perspective. I think your answer depends on your culture/social background norms. In my culture (North Indian), you must invite everyone you know, regardless of how long it's been since you've spoken to them. The wedding is the single most important event in a person's life and unintentionally leaving someone out is the equivalent of saying "we never want to speak to you or see you again." Perhaps it might be a good idea to consult friends/family and ask what they might do in similar situations?

No. You are never required to invite anyone to your wedding. If wouldn’t invite anyone to my wedding whose phone number I did not even have.
