I wouldn't worry about it. The bartender is going to be savvy enough to know who is part of the wedding and who isn't. Unless your wedding is really casual, so that hotel guests coming in from the pool will blend in with you, they'll be able to distinguish guests. If you are really worried about it, speak to the hotel and ask them how they usually handle this and what precautions they will take to limit consumption to wedding guests only!
My friend recent;y had her's in a hotel as well, one that has a rather large and popular resturaunt in it - I don't think that they had any issues. The bartender kept up with things rahter well.
I wouldn't worry too much.
On another note - I just thought of - unless you have some kid of signthat things are free, no one would know with out going up to order and taking the chance they have to pay for things.
Are you paying a flat rate for the open bar? Like $XXX per hour? If so its in the hotel's (and thus the bartender's) best interest to make sure that only your guests (and pre dermined headcount) are served. If you are paying per drink, then that is a different story but i'm sure that they would still be good and keep an eye on who is your guest and who isn't....
Also.... why isn't the hotel reserving that for just you... it should say closed for private party.

We're having a one-hour cocktail reception prior to the actual dinner reception, at a hotel. It's going to be an open bar with wine, beer, non-alcoholic bevs and hors d'ouevres (sorry if wrong spelling...). How do we ensure that the people coming up to the bar and eating our food are our guests? My fiance and I thought of maybe issuing some sort of pins for the guys and bracelets for the ladies so the bartender and waiters can distinguish our guests from the rest of the hotel patrons. Is this tacky, or is there another way to do this, or should I not even worry about it?
