If you and your fiancé have agreed to serve alcohol at your reception, then there are a couple of ways to keep drinking under control. Instead of having an open bar, have a cash bar. You can provide the first two drinks for free and then any drinks after that, guests will have to pay. Most of the time guests will designate a driver if they are going to drink heavily and those that are light drinkers might not drink at all because they have to pay. If you have guests that are not responsible, then you can designate your own drivers to take intoxicated guests home or at least to a designated location close by to sleep off the intoxication.
 
An alternative to a cash bar is an open bar with set time limits. Some couples will have alcohol served for 2 hours and then after that guest are limited to punch, lemonade and soft drinks.  This helps control the amount of alcohol consumed by your guests and can save you money.
