It might take a bit of time after 8 months of getting away with it, but we train guide dogs and you just stand, turn your back, cross your arms and ignore them.
Shoving them off you sometimes works but a lot of them think its a game so its best to just ginore them

Great advice already, sut to add, make sure everybody follows these rules, when she is most excitable, i.e when you return home, ignore her the moment you walk in the door, no eye contact or talk, jsut got straight to the back door and rlease her for the toilet then again when she comes back in no aknowledgement till she is calm and this rule should be followed at all times, even to tell her "no, down" grab her is all wanted attention, stroke her only when calm and if she takes even that to the extreme, stop immediatley as he excitiement levels are apparent.
some people turn backs, some knee the dog, some walk off and remove themselves each time, and if they do it on the chair, obs you have to push them away because its ard to ignore a dog that is jumping all over you and the chair, then take her collar, again no talk, and remove her from the room for "time out" repeat this over until she learn to stay in the room means to be calm and settle, once she does settle rather than over fuss offer a treat, or a low key pat on the head then walk off again.

When people arrive at home, try to by pass the excitement stage, by placing her in the kitchen and letting your guests be seated, then let her in, ask them to ignore any over selous advances she makes and use the "time out" is she persists in her desperation for attention, when she settled ask them to drop her a treat or use the qucik stroke on the head and thats enough.

She is baby still so everything is exciting but at this age they feed of attention.

I also introduce it as a training thing - you can jump up, on me, but only when I tell you, using a command like 'up', but only when I say that.

As mentioned I would turn away, not engage with her, pushing and shouting and making a fuss does turn it into a game. I also used to put my hand over my dog's muzzle and put him down, and hold him there until he had calmed down. Not everyone's cup of tea I know.

Also please remember it's just her way of saying hi, our faces are up much higher than ours, she's not doing it to be naughty or bad, it's how the communicate, it's just that we find it rude and don't like it - which is why I use it as a command, yeah, you can say hi - now. But only when I say so, I do quite like a doggy hug, there's a time and a place!
