Change expectations for greetings and set up guest entries that prevent over-excitement, over-whelm, jumping up and scared/scary behaviours.

Orchestrate greetings & guest entries so that the dog is coming in on the person, rather than the person coming in on the dog.
With practice, this can change the dog's expectations of these interactions and, if we start out like this, we can prevent guest greeting drama altogether.

Have the guest/s call or text when outside rather than coming to the door. For starters, that reduces a lot of door drama.
For more confident dogs, secure them in another room initially but for more cautious greeters, bring them outside on lead and circle around the back of your waiting guests with plenty of space. This allows them to gather some information and feel out in the open initially.

Get your guests in first and settled. Scatter some yummies ready for snuffling when your dog enters. Bring the dog in on lead, have everyone play it cool and encourage sniffing and snuffling.
Prepare some irresistible stuffed toys to facilitate settling and to help your dog safely and calmly be part of the gathering.

But! Know your dog...for some dogs, it's better to wait until the celebrations have calmed down before carefully introducing your dog. And for some dogs, they might be happier and safer away from the festivities altogether with just you visiting them regularly.

Ask, "does my dog need to be part of this, right now?" and have a plan to give your dog regular breaks away from the action and downtime somewhere else quiet and calm.
