    1. May and I would like to join the party.
    2. May and me would like to join the party. This sounds 'uneducated' to most native speakers.
    3. I and May would like to join the party. We prefer #1.
    4. Me and May would like to join the party. This sounds distinctly 'uneducated' to most native speakers.

    Context is always important; labelling is rarely important.

    Thank you.
    #1 is correct.
    #3 is grammatical but unnatural.
