Should alcohol be served if the groom is underage? What is the etiquette?

So my fiancé and I will be 20 and 21 respectively on our wedding date. I’m sure people are used to some sort of alcohol being available at the wedding. How should we go about this to respect everyone involved?

    Cash bar is never ok. If you can’t afford limited or open bar then cut the guest list.

    Do you ask people to come over to your house to hang out for dinner and drinks and charge them? No, you don’t.

    I just have to say one thing, this is my first time posting a question on the WeddingWire app and I’m not sure that I will again. I understand that some people have more experience answering questions about wedding etiquette but there was quite a bit of unnecessary sharpness between comments. I was just looking for opinions and everyone’s is valid. I appreciate those who mentioned that some things said may not have been considered traditional etiquette but I think we need to remember that every wedding is different as far as guests, settings and so on. I believe people base their opinions on personal experience, and seeing as I’ve never gotten married or been to a wedding before, that’s what I was looking for. It makes me sad to see some people think that just because someone has answered a good amount of questions that they should have the most traditionally based opinion. My parents wedding with no liquor in their back yard farm in my opinion is no less legitimate simply because it wasn’t a verified venue. Just feel a little taken aback and had to share. Not trying to upset anyone.
