At this age if the invitation is to the 4yr old only I would expect Mum or Dad and the party guest only.
If they needed to bring other kids due to not being able to have them looked after, then I would have thought they should ring you and check that it was ok.
We have just been to a couple of 4yr old parties, and it was just DS2 with me or his Dad while the other stayed at home with the kids.
I agree with Heather - there's been times where i have had to take all the kids to a birthday party - but i check with the host first, and make sure they're aware that they won't be participating in the party.
eta - if you're doing party bags, I often have a few spares (just plain brown paper bags) with just a couple of lollies in them. That way if there are a couple of extras - there won't be any tears (not that it's your problem though)
