Is it better to say "for you and me" than "for me and you"?

[Fooge]

I've heard that it's bad to put yourself first.

[Vijay]

No.

[Sumelic]

"Better" and "bad" are such vague terms that it's not really possible to answer this without context and a description of what your goals are ... "for you and me" is the more common word order.

[Axiem]

In a semi-formal/journalistic register for published American English, "for you and me" is considered the preferred arrangement.

[Zaarin]

Traditionally it's considered "good form" to put the first person pronoun second, but colloquially I doubt many people care.

[Richard W]

In a semi-formal/journalistic register for published American English, "for you and me" is considered the preferred arrangement.

Also consider better in British English. The prime example is the citation of Wolsey's so called 'disastrously ordered' 'ego et meus rex'.
