It comes just days after 54 people were killed in a bomb blast in Turkey, which was carried out by a child of between 12 and 14 years old.
At least 22 of the victims in Saturday's suicide bomb attack on a wedding party in the southeastern city of Gaziantep were under the age of 14.
Witnesses said a three-month-old baby was among the dead.
The device used in Saturday's bombing was the same type used in attacks in 2015 on a peace rally in Ankara and on the border district of Suruc, a senior security official said.
Both the Ankara and Suruc attacks were blamed on the so-called Islamic State group, reinforcing the suspicion that the militant group was also behind the Gaziantep bombing, the official said.
Officials said a destroyed suicide vest was found at the scene of what was the deadliest in a series of bombings in Turkey this year.
The pro-Kurdish Peoples' Democratic Party said the wedding party was for one of its members.
The groom was among those injured, but the bride was not hurt.
