Help me make a custom cocktail!

Ok so I'm trying to come up with a signature drink to serve at the bar during the reception and I need some ideas.  Our colors are navy blue and pink, so i was thinking something with a pink hue would be easiest.  I don't normally order too many different drinks when we go to the bar so I have no idea what would work or taste good or that would come out pink.... If you have any ideas feel free to share!

Here is our bar list (standard open bar):
Vodka, Rum, Gin, Scotch, Whiskey, Bourbon, Peach Schnapps, House Wine, Bud Light, sweet and dry vermouth, juices, mixers, soft drinks, and garnishes. 

Thanks ladies!

    I'll just share the one's we came up with, with you.

    Something Old - Butterfly Kiss: rum, lime juice, sugar, mint soda (pretty much a mojito)
    Something New - Diamond Fixx: whiskey, sweet and sour, triple sec, citrus soda (pretty much a lynchburg lemonade)
    Something Borrowed - Love Potion: gin, citrus soda, lemonade
    Something Blue - Blue Eyed Cowboy: vodka, blue curacao, pineapple juice
    Sixpence for my shoe - Blushing Bride: sparkling cider, grenadine, lime juice (this is our non-alcoholic offering)

    HTH!

    I think its really cool when you do something that represents you guys as a couple.  Any special places you have been together? Anything special about the proposal?  Where is your honeymoon?  If you can do a drink that somehow fits into any of this and share the story on a little card at the bar I think it adds a nice touch.

    Cosmo, pomagranite martini........

    I would go to a martini bar like goodnight gracies, or amicis and see what they have there.  You might get some good ideas

    Martinis may be a little strong to serve as a signature drink. I would make a tropical fruity combo like rum, cranberry juice, pineapple juice, maybe add OJ, peach schnapps, sprite, lime juice?

    I would recommend going to a bar (or at home if you have all the mixes) and order up a few different combos and pick the one you like best.
