Yes, it can, and therefore if you cannot afford it, you shouldn't have
it.

Having open bar followed by a cash bar will confuse your guests, and
will make for a bad situation. If you still think cash bar is ok,
search the Google archive of alt.wedding - I can assure you it is
frowned upon.

Why not just have beer/wine or wine/Chamagne for the entire reception?
Many people do so, and there is nothing wrong with offring a limited
alcohol selection.
