-yoyaku irete oku
This means to make a reservation, correct? I got it in a mail from a friend I am meeting- she said "yoyakuireteokune!", so I assume she means she will make a reservation somewhere ^^;
I just previously always used yoyaku suru and wanted to know if there was any nuance/difference in meaning.
thanks in advance!

"yoyaku wo ireru" = to make/place a reservation
"yoyaku wo irete oku" = to arrange for/take care of making a reservation (for an upcoming trip, etc.)
"...(te-form of a verb) + oku" adds the addtional meaning of having something done and ready (for an event, for a trip, etc.), taking care of/arranging to be ready for something.

"yoyaku wo ireru" = to make/place a reservation
"yoyaku suru" = to reserve, to book
...They both mean the same thing.
You can use the "(te) + oku" expression with "yoyaku suru" and say "yoyaku shite oku," to take care of/arrange for making a reservation.
