ANSWER:

Mahr should be in cash or gold or anything material, like plot etc. There is no problem to ask the groom for a simple waleemah in the house. 

In my society the weddings often result in Ladies taking pictures of the bride and sharing it to anyone including men. I dream to make my own wedding an opportunity to show my society that weddings can be inexpensive. I wish to have my Nikah done in a mosque and gift all the guests sweets (Nikah n Walima together). Can I ask a simple nikah plus waleema as My Mahr? Is it allowed?
