Season's Greetings
文字通り訳しても読む人の頭には？？？しか浮かばないでしょう。日本語が型どおりの言葉なので、英語もありきたりの表現で、でも「季節」を生かしてこんなもんでどうでしょう。

: Disagree with "Season's Greetings"...it's not doing justice to the Japanese language IMHO.

: I agree that in terms of functional equivalence something like this would be appropriate, but 'season's greetings' is specific to the Christmas holiday season, so you'd want to avoid it in other contexts.

It's the time of year when the leaves begin to change color
We hope this invitation finds you well.
It is the time of year when the leaves begin to change color, and it is our pleasure to announce that we will be holding our wedding on XXXX.
文面だけを考えると特に違和感はないと思います。ただし、英語圏の結婚招待状の形式は日本とは異なるので、そもそも以上の表現は使わないかと。

結婚式の招待状ですし、特に英語で「別れ」のニュアンスが
強くなりがちな秋の季節表現を敢えて「新しい始まり」に
相応しいものにしてみてはいかがでしょうか？
