Open bar - Wedding Party Only?

We are curious on ideas for offering a open bar to our wedding party, and only open beer, wine, and soda for our guests, with cash bar as well. Our wedding will be shot free, on advice of our venue (and knowing our guests). Do you suggest providing glasses for our BP, so that they don't get free drinks for other guests, or is this just an extra bride worry? Or should we just inform the bartenders that anyone wearing a flower gets open bar on our tab? Has anyone had an issue with BP getting drinks for friends at the wedding?

Ugh. I've said it before and I'll say it again: Your wedding is not a booth at the county fair so nothing should be for SALE. Would you offer the bridal party a better dinner option too? That's just weird and wrong. No cash bars. ever ever ever ever

I've never been to a wedding that does this or even been to a cash bar one. We plan on having beer soft drinks and water for everyone at the reception. Personally I'd be upset that others got drinks that guests couldn't get. To each their own but please rethink about offering drinks to everyone.

I've never been to a cash bar wedding in my 34 years of existing on planet earth. You know why? They're rude. Even worse than that, is allowing some but not others to drink.
