One way to save on the bar bill at your wedding reception is to serve a signature drink to wedding guests instead. The signature drink can be made ahead of time and since you know exactly what ingredients are required to make the drinks, you can limit the bar tab of an open bar from ringing up.

2 cups white sugar
