This statement of congratulation really made me think: May happy times and warm memories brighten your new year.
As I can see this statement has an inverted form: May + subject, although it is not a question.
I knew it that inverted forms are used in 1. questions, 2. statement of surprise or shock, 3. statements which start with semi-/negative adverbs like never, seldom, only, ... But I didn't know it can be used in statements of wishes or congratulations.
Can I use inverted forms in statements for wishes?
Thanks,
