I'm getting scared! We have 266 people on our list and we want to have at least 175 (to meet our minimum) but not that much more than that.

How many people should be on the 'A' list?

175 is only 65% of 266.
I think you will have more than 65% of people accepting.

I agree unless you have alot of oot's or people you dont think will come on the list then I wouldnt add any more to the list unless you want to go over the min.

at least 200 on the A list. I really wouldn't be worrying about meeting your minimum with a list that is almost 100 people over your minimum

The general rule is that 20% will decline. Unless, of course, you have a large number of OOT guests or your wedding is on a holiday weekend - then the percentage may be higher.
