Cross Stitch Patterns?

Question

For my 18th Birthday Party, me and my mum are going to stitch the front the invitations to give out to guests, the only problem is that we can't seem to find any cross stitch patterns online or in any of the magazine my mum has. I also need to find a reputable stockest where I can buy black Aida and white DMC or Anchor Skeins from, as the theme for the party is Black and White.

If any one knows of any good cross stitch patterns, Aida and Skiens companies online i would be extremely greatful

Thanks
