As the Gaffer had been Bilbo's gardener for many years ( and received birthday-presents from Bilbo ), and Sam was such a close friend of Frodo, it's hard to imagine them not being there at all.
My feeling would be they were likely present for the Party, but not at the restricted 144 guest dinner-party, which seemed to be limited to relations of Bilbo's.
