If I want to say" her sister and her" are going to a party.

is this grammar above correct?

or should I say "her sister and she" or "her and her sister" or "She and her sister"?

thank you
 
"She and her sister" or "her sister and she."

This is why Jasmin165 is right about it:

She is going to a party.(You can't say "her is going to a party")

Her sister is going to a party.

Now combine the above sentences, and you getShe and her sister are going to a party .

I think, since "she are" would sound awkard, it is prefarable to use "she" at the beginning of the sentence.

Well then, how come "My sister & I are going to the movies" doesn't sound awkward? :-?

X and I version is correct, and the other way round would not be.

To my knowledge, I don't think that the same applies to She and X, X and she when it comes to the correctness. So, with some simple logic, for the sequence, since being correct is not the issue this time, we could pick the one which is mostly heard as the natural.

And, It sounded awkard to me, but not to you. So, it's best to wait for a native-speaker's comment.

"She and her sister" is the only natural sounding way to say it.
