If you are going to take one some of the more creative parts of your wedding on your own, you are probably aware that you have a lot of work ahead of you. However, doing a lot of these things on your own can not only be very satisfying, it can also save you a ton of money, leaving your cash for other things that you really want to have. It may not be wise to make your own cake, but you can make your own favors and your own candies. See what you can find in wedding chocolate molds to make some neat little favors that are edible as well. These are a lot of fun.
To do wedding chocolate molds, you need to find the molds that you like first. Some make small candies, and some make chocolate figures on a stick. Your adult guests won't be too keen on the stick, but if you are having children at your wedding, they are going to love them. What could be better to a kid than a chocolate lollipop? Your best bet is to find a few designs that you like for adults, and then buy just one that you think works for your theme that allows you to add sticks for the kids. That way, you have everyone covered.

Along with your wedding chocolate molds, you also need some type of release agent. This is what allows the chocolate to come out of the mold. Without it, you could have chocolate breaking everywhere, or chipping off when you try to remove the candies. There are special release agents that you can get just for making molds. If you want to get something else, you can go with any oil spray that you find in the store. Just remember that some oils will add a taste, so be careful of what you choose if not going for something made just for candy mold release.
Next, think about what you want to make. You can use just chocolate in your molds, or you can mix it up with different additives. Some like to make white and dark chocolate for a bit of variety, and some like to go with a colored chocolate. If you have a theme with specific colors, you can make your wedding chocolate molds with those colors. You can find the chips that you can melt for molds anywhere you find candy making supplies. See if you can taste them first so you know you are going to like the candies when they are done.
You can also add things like nuts or even crispy cereal bits to your wedding chocolate molds. Follow the instructions for properly melting your candy and chocolates and then add the bits when you are pouring the mold. You won't need a lot to add extra crunch and flavor for most sizes of mold. Remember to keep a few plain, as there are many that love the simple, creamy smoothness of chocolate without a lot of extras. You can even try caramel or peanut butter if you are feeling really creative.
