Does it look cheap to only have beer and wine?

The other post about the bar tab had me wondering something.

I'm only in the beginning stages of the wedding planning, but we already know this will be a large (probably inviting 300) wedding.  Although we enjoy a drink or two, FI andn I aren't big drinkers.  Neither are *most* of our friends.  Would it look cheap at a big wedding to only do beer and wine?  I wouldn't want to spend however many thousands of dollars on hard liquor if people wont miss it, but I don't know if it's expected.  We *could* afford it, I would just prefer to spend the $$$ elsewhere.  I  never have anything other than a glass of wine at weddings so I have no idea if my friends have had hard liquor at theirs or not!
