Earlier quoted context omitted.

Yes. But only you're invited.

Is it really acceptable to contract "you" and "are" in that sentence?

No... but I'm not sure why. Go English.

I'm guessing it's because the subject is "only you" (who's invited? "only you") and you can't merge half of the subject with (half of) the verb like that.
