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?

Yeah and I think this is why a lot of people do house birthday parties. Or at the park or a local free space (some small towns have these).

It's expensive to throw a party either way. But it's much cheaper to have a BBQ at your home.

Now days, most younger adults (in the U.S) can't afford a home. So this limits their options.
