That's a weim for ya.
Because this breed is so full of energy, the first thing they need to learn is sit, then praise only when sitting. This will prevent jumping in the future, as they are strong dogs and will knock over elderly or children by accident. This breed especially should not be hit to discipline, they become wary easily. Once they have a fear of someone/something, they look to avoid and training is all but impossible. They are so eager to please, and motivated by reward (food or praise) .
How old is she? It's not too late for crate training, as dogs are den animals by nature. If you do not have one, get one. When company comes over, it's time to put her in her crate. Weims need strict, consistent training. When she has settled down, take her out of the crate, introduce her to the guests. If she jumps, make her sit (praise her when she does) and keep her sitting. If she jumps again, I cured that habit with my husky by making her "dance" or walk backwards when she jumped up. Soon, she quit jumping, as walking backwards was NOT fun! Sometimes a knee to the chest (not extreme, just enough to let her know not to do it or you will make her uncomfortable) and a firm NO or OFF or DOWN, whatever the phrase, keep it consistent.
Make sure she is getting adequate exercise and play time to take care of her high energy self. Very important. Especially right before guests arrive! She will aim to please.
Good luck and read into crate training! It can really be a life saver.

Training classes would help you out.
You need to learn how to control the dog. Also put the dog in a crate and do not let her have free access to people.
You should start by greeting people at the door with her on a leash so you have some control over her. Do not allow her to jump up on people and correct her if she does.

I'm going with kekeke on this one... train her. "NO JUMP" is the command I use on my Dane. This is going to sound harsh but it works and doesn't hurt them in the long run... when she jumps up on you, knee her in chest lightly and say "no jump". Increase the pressure each time she jumps up and if you trust your friends, give them the heads up on the training tip!
My Father cured a dog from doing that after one shot to the chest. It's more of a "hard block" than a "knee to the chest" so don't worry about "abuse"!

Crate her or isolate her when company comes over. Once your guest is settled then let her meet and greet. The initial stimuli of someone at the door will have subsided.

My guess would be that at those times you are so buisy telling the dog NOT TO DO things, that you never tell the dog TO DO something.
For this very thing I teach my dogs a "place" command so that I can send them to their rug over in the corner.

try setting her up you'll need help from friends. when they come over and she tries to jump on them have them bring their knee up into her chest and say NO.remember she is 60+ pounds so mean it when you do it the harder this is done the faster the behavior will be corrected..also take an obedience course with her...
