Cash Bar

I just wanted to get your opinions. My fiance and I are paying for everything for our wedding from start to finish. I am not asking for any help from anyone.
I was talking to my neighbor about the wedding plans and she asked if we were going to have a cash bar at the reception. I have never heard of this. I have never been to a wedding were there was a cash bar. Is this a new thing or not at all.
Just wondering because I have never thought about it or heard about it.

At our wedding, to cut the cost of a cash bar, we opened the bar only after 8:00pm. The wedding was at 4:00pm. People could have punch (alcoholic and non) during the cocktail hour, and wine during dinner but the bar wouldn`t open until the dancing stared. Also, and very important, we instructed the bartender: No shots! Too expensive! And besides... It`s a wedding reception not a mixer!
