conjunction of other pronouns with I

[eeswaran]

I and my wife will visit you tomorrow
My wife and I will visit you tomorrow

Are both these correct?
Or Is only the second correct? why? we have been used to the second one but I can't figure out why the first one cannot used.

Hi and welcome to the forums.

There is nothing that is ungrammatical about the "I and my wife" version, but it is not idiomatic to do so. It will sound wrong to native ears. Put "and I" after the other subject in your sentences.

It's more polite to mention other parties first.
