My wife says if we invite our friends and their 3 year olds to my childs birthday at a restaurant that its customary to pay for everyone. Is this reasonable?

Speaking only for our/our kids' social circle, It is customary for the party's host to pay for the guests. For our kids' parties, we will always pay for all of the kids' stuff, be it food or admittance or whatever, while accompanying adults are expected to cover themselves.
